Purchase RFQ (Request for Quotation)

Step-by-step Odoo guide · SJB Academy

A Request for Quotation (RFQ) is the first step of the purchase cycle: you ask a vendor for pricing before converting it into a confirmed purchase order.

Path: Purchase → RFQs → New

  1. Open the Purchase app and click New to create an RFQ.
  2. In the Vendor field select the supplier, or create one if it does not exist.
  3. Set the Order Deadline and the vendor reference if any.
  4. In the Products tab click Add a line and choose the product, quantity and expected price.
  5. Confirm the Taxes field on each line (15% input VAT).
  6. Click Send by Email to send the RFQ; the status becomes RFQ Sent.
  7. When the vendor replies, adjust prices if needed and proceed to confirm the order.
