Bid/No-Bid Decision

For each part in an RFQ, you must decide whether to quote it (Bid) or decline it (No-Bid). This decision is made part by part.

Prerequisites

• Have extracted the BOM from your RFQ

How To

Step 1 — View the parts list

From your RFQ, access the Parts view. Each part shows:

• Part number and designation
• Classification (elementary, assembly, standard)
• Material
• Program quantities

Step 2 — Evaluate each part

For each part, assess whether it fits your capabilities:

• Material: do you have experience with this alloy?
• Dimensions: compatible with your machines?
• Treatments: can you manage treatment subcontracting?
• Quantities: is the volume worth it?

Step 3 — Mark the decision

Click on the part's status to change it:

Status	Meaning
Bid	You will quote this part
No-Bid	You decline this part
Pending	Decision not yet made

Step 4 — Set Make/Buy

For parts marked as Bid, indicate whether they will be:

• Make: manufactured in-house
• Buy: subcontracted

Important Notes

TIP

No-Bid parts are not deleted. You can change your mind at any time before submitting the offer.

Next Step
