RFQ Process for Small Suppliers (No Portal Required)

Summary:

Once the RFQ is submitted and approved, a notification will be sent to the respective suppliers informing them
of their invitation to bid. (This is the standard functionality where suppliers typically log in to the Supplier Portal.)

However, Client does not wish to follow the standard flow for small suppliers.

Instead, Client proposes sending a direct link to the respective suppliers, allowing them to upload their quotations without logging into the system.

Once the quotations are uploaded, they should be automatically captured in the Sourcing module.

It should be noted that the standard RFQ process will continue to apply for large or complex RFQs (either first-stage or second-stage).
