Purchase Quotations Dashboard 
Use the Purchase Quotations dashboard to monitor open purchase quotations. With the filter, you are able to view open purchase quotations by selected vendor, item, buyer, and valid date. With the dashboard, you can view how vendors have responded to your quotations. For responded quotations, you can proceed to compare quotations and close quotations.
The Purchase Quotations dashboard presents a pie chart displaying the open purchase quotations for a certain time range. Working with this chart typically involves the following operations:
View Quotation Status
Responded: If a quotation has a full response from the required vendor (with all items quoted with quantity and unit price), then this quotation is defined as Responded.
Partial/No Response: If a quotation does not have a full response from the vendor (with one or more items not quoted), then this quotation is defined as Partial/No Response.
Overdue: Quotations with a “Valid Until” No Later Than date that is earlier than the current system date.
To view detailed information, click the pie chart segment. The Purchase Quotations Details window appears, displaying a list of relevant purchase quotations. You can find the following information in the table: document number, supplier name, supplier telephone number, reference number, and valid date information.
NoteYou cannot display the Purchase Quotations Details window for the same pie chart segment again right after you close the window.
To display the details of the same segment, for example, the Responded segment, you click another segment, close the Purchase Quotations Details window, then click the Responded segment.
End of the note.Filter Data by Valid Date
The dashboard lets you filter open purchase quotations by expiration date. To do so, in the “Valid Until” No Later Than field, choose a date. All purchase quotations that expire before the date you specify here are presented in the chart.
NoteIf you specify a date earlier than the current system date, all the displayed purchase quotations are overdue quotations.
End of the note.View Data of Selected Vendors/Items/Buyers
By default, the dashboard displays the data of all open purchase quotations (including overdue purchase quotations). You can use the filter to view the data for selected vendors, items, and buyers. To do so, proceed as follows:
In the Choose Scope dropdown list, choose to view data by Vendor, Item, or Buyer.
In the Choose Group dropdown list, choose a group. The dashboard displays open purchase quotations for the specified vendor/item/buyer group.
If you want to proceed to view data of a specific vendor/item/buyer, in the Choose dropdown list, choose a vendor/item/buyer.
The dashboard displays open purchase quotations for the selected vendor/item/buyer only.
