Hello everyone,

 

one of the big flaws of RFQ module in IFS10 is that you cannot send RFQ to supplier who are not already created in IFS as master data.

i was thinking of using prospect supplier and allow the users to create a prospect supplier to whom they can send RFQs.

i would like to know how that works and is it possible to switch a pospect supplier to a real supplier

@Mehdi this is exactly the ideal usecase of using Suppliers of type Prospect. Creating a Prospect nly requires a minimum set on info for defining the masterdata. Once you have a Prospect supplier you could send the RFQ. Then once the supplier responds with the prices/leadtimes and you agree to buy from them, you could easily change the category from Prospect to Supplier → then you need to define more data in the Supplier → Invoice / Payment / Procurement tabs
