The Vendor Quote Entry program allows for entry of the vendor quoted prices into the system. Enter your buyer code followed by the quote request number. You can select the magnifying glass on the Quote prompt and a list of all the quote requests for your buyer code will be displayed allowing you to select one. Once a vendor has been selected you must enter a vendor to whom the invitation to bid was sent. Use the magnifying glassat the vendor prompt and a list of vendors associated to the quote will display allowing you to select the appropriate vendor quote entry. If the quote request cut off date has past, a warning message will be displayed.
Once a vendor has been selected, the requisition lines related to the quote request will be displayed on the screen. You are required to enter the vendor quoted price in the unit price column. Vendor quotes can only be entered if the related requisition lines have not been awarded to a vendor. The full description as well as the requisition and stock numbers will display in a window at the bottom of the screen.
If the price quoted is a contract price, CQ will display in the Status (ST) column, otherwise VQ will display.
