Redrafting an RFQ

After you send an RFQ to suppliers, the list of resources on the RFQ is locked. As well, you cannot change the title, classification, RFQ dates, buyer, site, or bid instructions. If you wish to make changes to these items, you must redraft the RFQ, which unlocks it for editing.

If you are redrafting an RFQ after supplier bids have been entered, the system saves the existing bids. If you are redrafting the RFQ to add resources, you can also add the new resources to the supplier bid sheets.

When you are finished editing the RFQ, you can re-send the RFQ to the suppliers. If you do not wish to re-send the RFQ, you can mark it as “Waiting for Bids”.

To Redraft an RFQ

1.	Open the RFQ.

2.	From the RFQ menu select Redraft. In the confirmation dialog, click Yes. The RFQ’s status changes to “In planning”.

3.	Make sure that editing is enabled.

4.	Make the required changes.

To add resources to the RFQ, see Adding Resources to a Catalog Prices RFQ.

5.	Do one of the following:

•	If you wish to resend the RFQ to suppliers, see Sending an RFQ to All Suppliers or Sending RFQs to Suppliers.

•	If you wish to change the RFQ’s status to “Waiting for Bids”, click the RFQ menu, Mark As, and then Waiting for Bids. The RFQ’s status changes, but it is not resent to suppliers.

6.	Save and close the RFQ.
