About Quotation Requests
Quotation Requests are requests you submit to your organization once you agree on quantities of items that require restocking and the supplier(s) you wish to request price quotations on the selected items from.
Once you have received an agreed price quotation from one of your suppliers, you can convert the “Quotation Request” into a “Purchase Quotation“, register the prices settled with the supplier, and move along the rest of the Purchase Cycle processes.
