Selecting or Adding Suppliers
Up to 5 suppliers (global suppliers) can be selected for the entire RFQ. These can be preferred suppliers (set up in your Member Profile) or temporary non-preferred suppliers (FTZ member suppliers whose email addresses you know).
An "override suppliers" option is also available for each line item. The override permits selection of additional preferred or non-preferred suppliers for the individual item.
Selecting Global Suppliers
On the RFQ/Quote Worksheet, the Select Suppliers for Entire RFQ field provides five supplier lines.
Click the down-arrow to the right of a Supplier line
(supplier 1, for example).
A list of your preferred suppliers is displayed.
Click to select a supplier from the list.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to select other preferred suppliers for the RFQ. (See Adding Temporary Suppliers if you want to select a temporary non-preferred supplier.)
Adding Temporary Suppliers
It may be necessary to add temporary non-preferred suppliers for the RFQ. For example, you may know that a supplier other than your usual preferred suppliers is most likely to have parts in stock.
To add a temporary supplier:
Click the ADD TEMP SUPPLIER button.
This opens a Select Non-Preferred Suppliers window.
Enter the supplier's email address and click the SEARCH button.
In the search results, click the ADD button to the right of the supplier's name.
The supplier's name is inserted into a supplier line on the RFQ/Quote Worksheet.
Overriding Global Suppliers
To override global suppliers for a line item:
Click the OVERRIDE SUPPLIERS button (visible after you click the ADD LINE button).
To add an additional preferred supplier, click the ADD SUPPLIER LINE button. Then click the down-arrow for the added line to select from your preferred suppliers list.

To add a temporary non-preferred supplier, follow the steps discussed in Adding Temporary Suppliers.
