Quote Tab

pencil-small     The ability to initiate a quote is available only to those in the KFS-PURAP Purchasing Processor role.

The initiate a quote process allows purchasing to competitively bid the PO and collect information about the vendors to which a request for quote will be sent. After the vendors have had an opportunity to review the details of the request and submit their bids, a Purchasing Department staff member returns to this tab and identifies the winning bid or 'quote'. At that time, the PO approval process continues.
