A purchase RFQ asks suppliers what they can offer and at what price. When you pick an offer, create a purchase order.
How to open: Purchasing → Purchase RFQs
- Create purchase RFQ — supplier(s), lines, quantities.
- Save as Draft, then Mark as sent.
- When ready: Create purchase order.
Statuses include Draft, Sent, Answered, Selected, Closed, Cancelled.
You can skip RFQs for small or repeat buys and go straight to a PO.
