Changing statuses on Request for Quotations affects both
field functionality and access to various action pages.
The following statuses apply to Requests for Quotations:
- In Progress (INPRG)
- The default status when you create a Request for Quotations. The
Request for Quotations must remain in INPRG status until you have
specified all information and line items. In this status, you can
modify most tabs and fields on the Request for Quotations, except
for the Quotation Lines table. The Request for Quotations must be
saved as INPRG before changing it to another status. The status INPRG
is always available (except in COMPLETE and CLOSED status) to allow
you to edit the Request for Quotations.
- Ready to be Sent (READY)
- Indicates that the Request for Quotations is ready to be sent
to the vendors. In this status, you cannot change the Request for
Quotations. All tabs are read-only.
- Sent to the Vendor (SENT)
- Indicates that the Request for Quotations has been sent to the
vendors. The SENT status causes fields on the RFQ tab
and on the RFQ Lines tab to be read-only. Fields
on the Vendors tab can be modified. You can
also modify the fields on the Quotations tab,
and on the Terms and Conditions tab.
- Completed (COMP)
- Indicates that all quotations have been received from the vendors.
In this status, all fields, except for the fields on the Quotation
Lines tab, and the fields on the Terms and
Conditions tab, are read-only.
- Canceled (CANCEL)
- Indicates a canceled Request for Quotations. You use this status
to cancel a Request for Quotations, or to cancel a selected set of
Requests for Quotations. You can cancel a Request for Quotations only
if no quotations have been awarded. The CANCEL status is not available
after a quotation has been converted to a purchase order. A canceled
Request for Quotations is stored as a history record and cannot be
modified.
- Closed (CLOSE)
- Indicates a closed Request for Quotations. The Request for Quotations
must be one whose quotation lines have been awarded. Once a Request
for Quotations is closed, it is stored as a history record and cannot
be modified.
