Generally most of organizations will follow the RFQ creation process as mentioned below.
RFQ will be created for new materials or against the approved purchase requistions( PR’s should be approved by concern department head).
“Request for Quotation” button in the Purchase requisition which will be enabled only when the PR status is “In review”. So, an RFQ can be created only when the status of the PR is “In review” .You cannot perform any actions on the purchase requisition, such as completing, rejecting, or approving it, while the RFQ is in progress.
But when it comes AX RFQ process is against to organizations process.
Second point is RFQ can be created only by the user who has to either review it or approve it. But in the normal scenario RFQ will be created by Purchase officer and there is no rule to approve the PR.
In order to create RFQ from PR, the user must be an approver but in real business scenario there is no rule purchase officer to approve the PR.
Ex: user1 is creating the Requisition, user2 has to review it and user3 needs to approve it.
So, if the PR is “In review” state and it is waiting to be reviewed by user2, then only the user2 can create the RFQ. No other users can create the RFQ from the PR.
So my point is AX RFQ proces it self wrong .
Could any body noticed why AX is doing in a different manner ?
Thanks in advance.
