eQuote Functionality Tips

  1. The title of the eQuote will automatically default to the requisition title. This can be changed on the eQuote form, but it will only change the title of the actual eQuote, it will not change the title of the requisition.
  2. The Response Due Date field is a required field. If the user does not fill out the 'Response Due Date' field, it will default to two business days ahead of the eQuote creation date. However, it's in the user's best interest to give the suppliers a sufficient amount of time to respond in order to get the best possible response.
  3. Items selected from an eQuote response do not have commodity codes associated with them. Therefore, buyers must select commodity codes for each line item. The commodity code can be edited on the Edit Line Item Details page of a requisition.
  4. A user can access eQuote information from NC E-Procurement by clicking on the name of the line item (the eQuote line item in a requisition). Clicking on the eQuote line item will automatically lead to the eQuote page to view supplier responses or other eQuote information.
