A Supplier Quotation is a formal statement of promise by potential supplier to
|
|
supply the goods or services required by a buyer, at specified prices, and
|
|
within a specified period. A quotation may also contain terms of sale and
|
|
payment, and warranties. Acceptance of quotation by the buyer constitutes an
|
|
agreement binding on both parties.
|
|
|
|
You can make a supplier quotation from a Material Request

|
If you have multiple Suppliers who supply you with the same Item, you
|
|
usually send out a message (Request for Quote) to various Suppliers. In
|
|
many cases, especially if you have centralized buying, you may want to record
|
|
all the quotes so that
|
|
|
|
* You can easily compare prices in the future
|
|
* Audit whether all Suppliers were given the opportunity to quote.
|
|
|
|
Supplier Quotations are not necessary for most small businesses. Always
|
|
evaluate the cost of collecting information to the value it really provides!
|
|
You could only do this for high value items.
