Organizations issue requests for quotation (RFQ) when they want to receive competitive offers from several vendors for the items or services that they must purchase. The introduction of the vendor’s ability to enter a bid for an RFQ resulted in the need for explicitly indicating who entered bid data: the vendor or the procurement department. This requirement is addressed by the introduction of a new reply status. In addition, there is a new form dedicated to entering bids, so that entering the bid and processing the bid are now handled on separate forms.
