Supplier Quotations #

Introduction #

Supplier quotations serves to store current price information from suppliers. In general it is only used in conjunction with the optional purchase planner module. However they can also be used for reference and selecting prices when making a purchase order manually. The purchase planner will generate a multitude of purchase orders based on the current demands for purchased materials. If you wish the system to choose the best of current supplier quotations automatically during the planning process, items need to matched to manufacturers, manufacturers need to be matched to suppliers (unless they are OEM manufacturers) and supplier quotations must be present in the system.

Note that supplier quotations are often uploaded by Excel. See the article on importing data.

Licensing #

The following optional extentions are related to supplier quotations.

Tracking currency, rate, band and proportion

These fields are used if the supplier is offering prices which are linked to a specific currency. Note that this is separate from the currency of the quotation. The rate tells the currency rate used at the time of the quotation. The band tells the range in which the price will not be adjusted. The proportion tells how much of the currency fluctuation will be passed through if currency rates change outside of the band from the time of quotation to the time of deliver.

Preferred This is the preferred line when there are multiple lines for the same item, for instance the supplier is quoting different alternative manufacturers.

Using quotations in purchase orders #

When entering a purchase order line, press the action button next to the price field. This will display all the quotations made for the item that is being ordered. If there are valid purchase quotations for the item, it can be selected. This requires that the supplier defined in the purchase order header has made the quotation, or that the supplier has not been defined yet for the order.
