Business management feature

Manage rfqs — requests for quotation with a clear record of every handoff.

Buying-side sourcing: write down what you want to buy (an RFQ — products and quantities, no prices), send it to several suppliers, capture each supplier's quote as they answer, compare them side by side, and turn the winner into a Purchase Order.

The RFQs — Requests for Quotation feature keeps its source record, status, and downstream references inside BusinessIntents. Teams can work from the same operational context and open the detailed guide whenever they need field-level instructions.

Use the documented operating model as a starting point, then adapt fields, approvals, reports, or connected areas when your process differs.
