(To learn about this feature in detail, please sign up for our webinar ‘NetSuite Procurement With PortalsPro’, coming on October 26th and 27th)
- Using the Advanced Procurement feature, companies can raise an RFQ from within NetSuite and share it with vendors on a secure portal.
- A Request for Quote (RFQ) is a request sent to one or more vendors asking them to provide specifics about their pricing, terms and conditions in regard to a purchase order for a product they provide.
- From the vendor portal, vendors can review RFQs along with all other transactions and PortalsPro functionalities available
- PortalsPro’s vendor portal offers secure access to vendor data without the need for a NetSuite license
- RFQs can be created for multiple items with multiple tiers of quantities and can be shared with vendors.
- Once an RFQ is shared with a vendor, they will receive an email notification regarding the RFQ and can view the RFQ from the vendor portal.
- From the Vendor Portal, vendors can either provide a quote for all or any select items on the RFQ.
- Both company and vendor can collaborate on documents while requesting for or responding to a quote
- Once vendors have submitted their response, NetSuite users will get multiple options to compare the vendor’s responses for each item.
- Once vendors have been selected after comparison, there is an option to award one or multiple vendors at a time. (Only one vendor can be awarded per each item).
- After the vendors are awarded, customer quotes can be created. In addition to the original amount that vendor quoted, NetSuite users can also add Additional Markups or Markup %
- Once the customer quote is converted to a sales order, there will be an ability to create a Purchase Order automatically based on the quoted pricing of the vendor.
