Create, compare, and confirm requests for quotation

Steps

1. 1Create an RFQ from an approved demand or replenishment signal and select qualified suppliers.
2. 2Confirm product identity, purchase unit, pack conversion, requested quantity, delivery destination, lead time, price, tax, payment terms, and required quality or temperature evidence.
3. 3Compare supplier offers under the organisation’s tender or quotation policy. Assess availability, total cost, quality, traceability, contract status, and delivery conditions, not price alone.
4. 4Select the approved offer, document the decision where required, and confirm the purchase order using the correct purchase authority.
5. 5Send the purchase order only through the organisation’s authorised supplier channel and retain the supplier acknowledgement where required.
