Quotes Subtask
Use this subtask to add quote information to a requisition line item or reference existing vendor quotes that were used by the buyer to source the requisitioned item.
If the procurement type of the requisition line specifies the number of quotes required, Costpoint displays a warning message if not enough quotes were referenced.
You can enter quote information using the Manage Vendor Quotes by Item or Manage Vendor Quotes by Vendor screen, and populate this screen's table window with the existing quote lines for this requisition item. If you created any quote lines (and added them to proposal costs) on the Add Vendor Quotes subtask of the Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Indented or Manage Proposal BOM Cost Estimates - Summarized screen in Costpoint Materials Estimating, you have the option of adding the quote lines on this screen as well.
To add existing lines (if the requisition was created on the Manage Purchase Requisitions screen), you can either add a new line and populate the Quote field (with an existing quote ID), or click the Autoload Quote button to load all open quote information previously entered for this item and linked to this requisition ID. The unit of measure, quantity, cost and other quote information will default into their respective fields, as entered for the quote line.
You cannot use this subtask to modify quotes created using another screen.
You can also use this subtask to add new quote IDs for pending requisitions that were created on this screen, and establish exchange rate information that is specific to this quote even if it differs from the requisition's exchange rate information.
Establish quote information whenever a line item is added to the requisition and maintain when modifications are required.
