Process: Respond to special bid RFQ
Flow
Objective
To respond to a special bid RFQ.
Description
When a buyer has activated an RFQ, the seller can respond to the prices and quantities of the product specified by the buyer. The seller can either accept the RFQ as received, or can present counterproposals in their response. For example, they may want to propose a different price.
Every seller in an organization can respond to an RFQ request. This means that an organization can allow several individuals to respond. For example, factories on different continents may be able to offer different price and delivery combinations. Only the seller who created a response can modify it.
Features
- Sellers can specify the fulfillment center to be used when the response is accepted and an order is created from the winning response.
- Buyers can accept all or some of products when the response is accepted.
