Understanding Creation of Orders from Price Quotes
After you enter supplier price quotes for an item or service, you can compare price quotes to identify the supplier with the best price and select a price quote for which to create an order.
After you select a price quote for which to create an order, you can:
Close the quote order detail line (if fully released) so that you can no longer create orders from the line.
Leave the quote order detail line open so that you can create recurring orders from the line.
You use processing options to specify which of the methods you want to use. Closed detail lines do not appear on the Quote Order Release form.
You can compare price quotes for an item by locating the quote order detail line that contains the item. You can review the item description for the detail line and all suppliers who have provided price quotes for the item.
You can enter service unit information for service order lines during the order creation process. Service units are informational only, so the system does not perform any validation against the values.
If the Display Service Units processing option on the Display tab of the Order Entry program (P4310) is set to display the Service Quantity and Service UoM fields, then these fields appear on the Quote Order Release form (W43360H).
