Sending an RFQ to All Suppliers

You can send an RFQ to all of the listed suppliers at the same time. Before you send the RFQ, you should have verified the contact information for each RFQ supplier.

If you are submitting RFQs by telephone, you can update the status of all RFQ suppliers to “sent”.

This topic explains how to send an RFQ to all listed suppliers. To verify the contact information for each supplier, see Sending RFQs to Suppliers.

To Send an RFQ to All Suppliers

1.	Open the RFQ.

2.	On the Properties view, select the Suppliers tab. This tab lists the suppliers to which you will send the RFQ.

3.	To send the RFQ to suppliers by mail, fax, or email, from the RFQ menu select Send To and then All Suppliers. A verification message appears asking if you are sure you want to send to all suppliers. Click Yes to continue.

The system uses the selected transmission methods to send the RFQ to each supplier. The RFQ status of each supplier (including those with the Phone transmission method) is changed to “Sent”.

4.	When you have received the bids from the suppliers, you can enter them in the RFQ. For more information, see:
