Supplier quotations: prepare requests and compare offers
Use ERPClaw's RFQ and supplier quotation actions to prepare requests, record offers and compare them before purchasing.
Start with the items, quantities and suppliers you want to compare. add-rfq creates the request-for-quotation record.
Prepare the supplier request
create-rfq-supplier-request prepares and retains an unsent supplier request or reminder. Review its contents and send it through the communication channel your team uses.
Record the offers
add-supplier-quotation creates a draft quotation using the RFQ item and the supplier’s quoted rate. The quantity comes from the RFQ item. Review each offer against the supplier’s original quotation.
Compare before ordering
list-supplier-quotations lists the recorded quotations. compare-supplier-quotations reads the quotations for comparison. Check price alongside delivery requirements and the supplier’s stated conditions before choosing an offer.
