Generate Requests for Quotation (tdpur1220m000)

Use this session to generate requests for quotation (RFQs) for a range of items and/or item groups.

Note: If you select the Based on Approved Supplier List check box, LN retrieves the bidders who are approved for the specific item from the Approved Supplier List (tdipu0110m200) session.

Based on Approved Supplier List

If this check box is selected, RFQs are generated for bidders who are approved for the specific item.

Note: You can approve bidders (buy-from business partners) for a specific item in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

Fill Purchase Office in RFQ

If this check box is selected, a purchase office is defaulted to the generated RFQs.

RFQ Series

Select the request for quotation (RFQ) series for which you want to generate the RFQs.

Maximum Number of Items

The maximum number of items in the given range for which you want to generate a request for quotation (RFQ).

If the maximum number of items is exceeded, a new RFQ is created.

Maximum Number of Bidders

The maximum number of bidders that you want to link to the request for quotation (RFQ).

Note:

If you enter a range of bidders and the maximum number of bidders is exceeded, the RFQ is only linked to the number of bidders that you specify in this field.
If you select bidders from an approved source list, the maximum number of bidders is linked to the item. Therefore, if you link a number of bidders to an RFQ, the maximum number of bidders will not necessarily match the value in this field. This is because each item can have a different number of approved suppliers and the maximum number of bidders is limited by the item and not by the RFQ. Each line on an RFQ can therefore have a different maximum number of suppliers.
