Requests For Quote
You can request quotes from suppliers (or potential suppliers) using the Request For Quote (RFQ) module in CRM. You can then quickly create a Purchase Order from an RFQ.
From the main menu go to Inventory > Requests For Quote and click on the New Request For Quote button.
Creating a new Request For Quote
When creating a new RFQ you can specify:
- Who the RFQ is Assigned To.
- The Purchase For field allows you to specify the anticipated Location that purchased stock will be received into in future.
- Which PDF Template is used.
- Which Email Template is used to email the web and/or PDF version.
- Which Web Template is used.
You can add additional Products to the form with the Add Item button.
Adding items to an RFQ
When you are finished inputting data, you can click on Save & Close.
You can send your RFQ out as either a PDF document or online link (or both). If you haven’t yet set up your web templates, you can do so with these instructions.
To view the PDF document, click on Generate > Request For Quote on the record toolbar.
You can also view the web version of the request by clicking on the Preview As Supplier button, which will open the web request in a new tab.
Generating the web version for preview
You can then click on the Copy URL button to copy the link so that you can paste it into an Email or SMS.

You can quickly create a Purchase Order from your request using the named button on the toolbar.
