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**

1. **Create purchase RFQ** — supplier(s), lines, quantities.
2. Save as **Draft**, then **Mark as sent**.
3. 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.
