    The RFQ Vendor Response Summary (RFQSUMM) page appears.

    The RFQ Vendor Response Summary by RFQ comprises of two grids:

    • Item

    • Vendor

    The Item Grid consists of the Facility, Part Number, Rev, Vendor, Vendor Name, Promise Date, Order Qty, U/M, Order Unit Price, and Description.

    • Item related information appears below the Item grid.

    The Vendor Grid consists of the Vendor, Vendor Name, Price1, Price2, Price3, Price4, and Price5 (Vendor response for each quantity break point).

    • You will find various vendor responses listed in the Vendor grid.

    • You can select the Show Price With Landed Cost check box to include the landed costs in the Vendor Price.

    Vendor related information appears below the Vendor grid.

    This Vendor Response grid holds the vendor breakpoints and its respective prices.

    Landed Cost is enabled when landed cost exists for the particular breakpoint quantity.

    You can raise a purchase order for the selected vendor.

    RFQ Items cannot be split across vendors.

To select a particular vendor based on the response

  1. Highlight to select part in the Item grid.

    Its related vendors is displayed in the Vendor grid.

  2. Select the Vendor check box to select the best price vendor in the Vendor grid.

  3. Click the Assign vendor.

    A message, Vendor assigned successfully appears.

  4. Highlight the vendor attached part in the Item grid.

    The Quantity Thru Breakpoints and its Vendor Prices is displayed in the Vendor Response grid.

  5. The selected part is attached to the selected vendor.

    If the RFQ has a Demand Document No, then the QTY mentioned in the Demand Document NO. is used as Order Quantity.

  6. As long as a Purchase Order is not created, a vendor can be assigned / re-assigned any number of times.

  7. If the Demand Document Qty and the Vendor Qty does not match exactly, then price taken will be the one where the Vendor Qty is closest to the Demand Document Qty.

    For example,

    • If the SO Qty is 50

    • Vendor responds 65, Order Price - $100

    • Since the closest match to SO Qty is 65 in vendor response, $100 will be taken as Order Price.

    • This assigns the vendor to the selected part and assigned the price.

Attach Vendor

  1. Select the vendor assigned part in the Item grid.

  2. In the Item grid, select the part and click Attach Vendor to attach the vendor to the Vendor tab in the Item Master (INV) window.

    If no vendors are attached then the attached vendor is prioritized.

    If there are multiple items in the grid you can select multiple vendors from the Vendor grid.
