This activity is used to create a request for order quotation for a design object, to be received by IFS/Purchasing. If the costing of equipment or components is not feasible in-house, a request for order quotation can be created and sent to a prospective supplier. Drawings, sketches, and data sheets may accompany the request. This activity may also be performed manually or using an application other than IFS Purchasing. Each order quotation requires the definition of Site, Currency, Buyer, Latest Reply Date and Wanted Delivery Date. A purchase requisition is generally created upon the approval of the request for order quotation.
This activity can be performed for single or multiple design objects on Design Object/Design Objects pages by accessing Create Request for Order Quotation sub command inside the Procument command group. On the Request for Order Quotation page, header field entries will be reused on all selected objects by default. However, it is possible to modify values for the Unit, Quantity and Wanted Delivery Date fields for an individual object,if required.
Select the Add Document option to attach a document to the request for order quotation for the object. Documents available are those documents that have been connected to the object.
The technical requirements for the design object need to be clarified. These are usually connected by attaching documents.
