RFQ Flow Process

  2. Receiving Quotes → Warehouses and suppliers submit quotes (Quoted).
  3. Customer Decision:
    • If the customer accepts a quote → RFQ moves to Booked.
    • If the RFQ is cancelled → Moves to Cancelled.
  4. Service Execution:
    • If the goods are delivered to the warehouse → Moves to Dropped.
    • If the service is completed → Moves to Finished.
  5. 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.
