After Supplier has access to RFQ, submitting their offers takes a few clicks and requires the following steps:
- Viewing information on General tab, which includes Message from Buyer, Company Name, Contact Person details, Event Status, Start and End dates, Currency list, and list of people who have access to the event with the opportunity to invite colleagues.
- Checking the list of products on Items tab. Suppliers can offer their prices in both ways: on the platform and via Excel. You can read more about how to give quotes here: Article `How to Give First Quote`
Submitting Alternative Bids
Submitting alternative offers is possible only after quoting for an original product. Once it is done, Plus Button
will appear on the left from Item name.
Click on 
and fill in all required fields such as Name Alternative Bid, Price etc. Users should also fill in additional fields if possible.
After an alternative bid is successfully submitted, it will appear below the quote for the original product and will be marked with blue label Alternative bid.
Following this guidance can help Suppliers to submit their bids for the requested and alternative products which allows both sides to get most benefit from PINPOOLS events.
