Documentation
Definition
Number or code facilitating the collective management of a number of individual RFQs (or inquiries) or purchase orders.
Use
If the RFQs or purchase orders of a particular procurement process have been assigned to a collective number, it is then possible to list and process all the individual RFQs/inquiries or POs that are grouped under this number.
Example
You have created 30 RFQs/inquiries for the procurement of a machine and have filed them under the collective number "MA-100". The deadline for submission of bids/quotations having passed, you want to establish the following:
- In respect of which RFQs/inquiries have bids or quotations been received?
- What is the net price of each quotation?
You can obtain this information by listing all individual RFQs/inquiries entered under the collective number "MA-100".
Dependencies
You can also use the collective number within the framework of load building (purchase order optimizing) to logically group together individual purchase orders.
POs bearing a collective number count as optimized.
The processes of seasonal procurement also use the collective number to bundle single-store vendor orders. In this case, the bundled purchase orders are not optimized.
