    Default How to generate a Request for Quote?

    Ideas on how to generate a quote for the customer that needs approval form the vendor?

    THe customer could put together the details of an order, but upon sending it the vendor (my client) will then confirm the order and price. The customer uses this information to get their PO# or approvals for payment and responds with the Order Confirmation...

    I was going to see about using the "Check in the Mail" processing and change this. Has someone already figured it out or it is there and I missed it?

    Thanks

    How about "Invoice?"

    Good luck,

    An invoice is after the sale - that shows the purchase was made...
    An RFQ is before the sale to get the budget from mgmt...

    Some customers require an RFQ that is a contract to deliver at
    a given price... So the Vendor needs to approve the pricing and send
    it back to the customer who gets the budget approvals, a PO#, and
    then submits the order. Accounting will match the Invoice to the RFQ
    to make sure that the correct money was spent...

    I could work it that they just place an order with a note (like Check)
    but it will have other issues...

    I don't see an "Invoice" mechanism. Am I missing that? That might
    work as a custom...

    Thanks

    I am aware of the difference. I was suggesting the invoice contribution. You might just change the name and be done - look at it:
