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