RFQ Statuses and Process Flow
RFQs progress through different statuses, tracking their journey from creation to completion. Below is a detailed breakdown:
RFQ Statuses

RFQ Flow Process
- RFQ Creation → The customer submits an RFQ (Pending).
- Receiving Quotes → Warehouses submit quotes (Quoted).
- Customer Decision:
- If the customer accepts a quote → RFQ moves to Booked.
- Customer cancels the RFQ → Moves to Cancelled.
- Service Execution:
- When the freight is delivered to the warehouse → Moves to Dropped.
- When the service is completed → Moves to Finished.
- Final Outcome:
- If service is completed successfully → Remains Finished.
- If any issue occurs before service completion → Can move to Cancelled.
These statuses help track the entire RFQ lifecycle, ensuring full transparency.
