Single seller quote
Single seller quotes allow buyers to place an order with the seller during a specific period. This functionality is available to registered business direct and consumer direct customers. Buyers can request for a quote only through the Customer sales representative (CSR).
The CSR offers the buyer a prepared quote. This quote includes all the item prices, a total amount, a quote token or quote ID, and the expiry date of the quote. If the buyer agrees to the terms and conditions of the quote before the expiry date, then the CSR generates an order from the quote and submits it.
Unlike a Request for Quote (RFQ), where a buyer creates an RFQ, using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator, for single seller quotes, the seller creates a quote as a response to a buyer's request for quote.
This new functionality uses the current Order functionality that WebSphere Commerce provides. New commands allow you to extend the Orders functionality to support single seller quotes.
