What Happens when I Reject an RFQ
The "Reject Button" on an RFQ, appears when the RFQ is in one of two states:
- "Submitted for Review" - the RFQ has been submitted by the Buyer to the SCM for initial approval, or
- "Submitted for Approval" - the RFQ has been reviewed by the SCM and submitted to the Budget owner for approval.
In either case, the clicking of the button performs the following actions:
- The Status of the RFQ is set to "RFQ with Vendors", ie the RFQ process is restarted, The person rejecting the RFQ must update the Audit record with a note / reason for the rejection. This is added to the notes for the RFQ
- An Audit record is written to record who and when the RFQ was rejected.
- The system will send a message to the "Allocated Buyer" advising him / her that the RFQ has been rejected.
- The system will include an icon on the "Allocated Buyer's" listing of RFQ's to flag / highlight the rejected RFQ.
The following indicators display the status as rejected, until the RFQ is resubmitted.
- A warning flag (Yield Sign) is displayed next to the RFQ Status.
- A warning flag (Yield Sign) is displayed next to the RFQ Status in the RFQ Admin section of the Material Request
- In the Dashboard, for the buyers, if an MR is flagged as Rejected, it is displayed with a red background in the MR's Managed by me.
