SUPPLIER REQUESTS

Users can create a Supplier Request, requesting a Supplier for a Quote and/or a Material Sample. This Supplier Request is issued to the Supplier after selecting Materials for which users require a Quote and/or Material Samples. Once users have received a quote from the Supplier, users have an option to close the Request if users have agreed on the Supplier Quote or re-issue the Request for further negotiation.
