How do I request supplier prices and compare quotes in a bid?

To add a recipient, open Master Data → Vendors/Subs. Choose the project for the new vendor or subcontractor before saving. If needed, create that project under Master Data → Projects first. The saved recipient will then be available for your company’s quotation requests.

  1. Select materials or subcontract resources and recipients in Price requests & quotes.
  2. Save request, then download PDF/XLSX and selected attachments for sending.
  3. Record quotation: choose a supplier and enter unit prices before tax. Blank means unquoted. Dates, reference, freight, exclusions and files are optional.
  4. Compare, select, preview the bid impact and confirm application. Use the existing Review and lock when final.

In Bid resources, Override supplier lets you choose or type a name using the existing Save changes flow. Request/quote saving does not change prices. This version does not send email or create purchase orders. A subcontract price does not remove overlapping labour/materials; check that scope separately.
