How it works...

When the purchase requisition has been approved for the items or services, the next step is to generate a quotation in order to obtain the price from the supplier. The quote order can be created by using the detail lines of purchase requisitions. When you generate the quote from the requisition, you can generate it from multiple requisitions, and it can be reviewed with the list of all requisitions showing which line was created and who requested the items and quantities. The system maintains this information about the consolidated requisitions that it creates for quote orders in the F4332 table.

There's more...

After entering the price quote information, you can print the Request for Quote Report (R43530) report to review existing price quotes for supplier.

Tip

You can generate a customized price comparison report based on the price received from the supplier. This report will also cover the delivery time warranty details and payment terms, for comparison.
