    Supplier RFQ Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A request for quotation (RFQ) is a standard business process whose purpose is to invite suppliers into a bidding process to bid on specific products or services. An RFQ typically involves more than the price per item. Information like payment terms, quality level per item or contract length are possible to be requested during the bidding process. To receive correct quotes, RFQs often include the specifications of the items\/services to make sure all the suppliers are bidding on the same item\/service. Logically, the more detailed the specifications, the more accurate the quote will be and comparable to the other suppliers. Another reason for being detailed in sending out an RFQ is that the specifications could be used as legal binding documentation for the suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    HoneycombERP\u00ae<\/em> Supplier Quotes extends the reach of automation to the beginning of the purchasing cycle by maintaining, tracking and reporting request-for-quote (RFQ) and supplier-quote information. RFQs can be generated for an unlimited number of suppliers or prospective suppliers. In the case of existing suppliers, information is automatically pulled from master files. In the case of prospective suppliers, a supplier quote is created by combining existing RFQ information with the supplier\u2019s responses. Supplier quotes may be entered directly or indirectly by entering a supplier\u2019s response to an RFQ. In either case, requests for multiple prices based on quantity discounts gives purchasing agents the information they need to make smarter buying decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Automated Procurement Processes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Automating the procurement process with your supplier provides important benefits in four key areas: streamlined order processing, increased contract compliance, increased order accuracy, and reduced cycle time. Industry research data provides insight into how significant these benefits are, and this four-part series will provide real world examples of how it applies to today\u2019s corporate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In HoneycombERP\u00ae<\/em> All or selected parts of a supplier quote can be converted directly into a purchase order. If the winning bid is from a new supplier, information is automatically pulled from supplier master files. For the sake of efficiency, supplier quotes may be optionally closed during the conversion process. All closed supplier quotes are maintained in history files for future reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Full Tracking of Supplier Responses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Inquiry and reporting functions provide up-to-the minute tracking of all active RFQs and supplier quotes. Extensive history files offer valuable data for performing price, delivery, and quality comparisons. If a supplier or prospective supplier elects not to bid, a reason can be entered with any additional comments for future reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Paperless Procurement & Approvals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    There is no need of maintaining parallel process of manual approval of requisitions, quotes and orders. HoneycombERP\u00ae<\/em> provides solution for automatic approval which saves time and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
