Step-by-step guide: How to Respond to Your Customers' RFQs
When a buyer sends an RFQ, suppliers receive an email notification containing:
If the buyer has enabled an NDA requirement, you must sign the agreement before accessing the full RFQ details. See NDA Management.
Your RFQ listing includes visual cues to help you prioritize:
When you submit a quote through the portal or an Excel bid sheet, you can choose the quote currency from the supported list — USD, CAD, EUR, CHF, or DKK. Buyers compare submissions in their chosen display currency in Quote Comparison; see Quote Management and Comparison and Exchange Rate Management for how conversions are applied.
The quote form depends on the request type:
Simple RFQ: Enter your total cost (with currency), lead time (with unit), any additional details, and file attachments.
BOM RFQ: Provide per-line-item pricing against the buyer's parts list.
A rich text field is available for additional notes, clarifications, or conditions.
You can update your submission at any time before the RFQ closes.
Revised quotes replace your previous submission as the active version for comparison purposes. For details on how buyers evaluate quotes, see Quotes and Comparison.
