You can use the Purchase Quotations dashboard to monitor open purchase quotations. Using the filter, you can view open purchase quotations by selected vendor, item, buyer, and valid date. You can use this dashboard to view how vendors respond to your quotations. For quotations with responses, you can compare quotations and close quotations.

The Purchase Quotations dashboard presents a pie chart displaying open purchase quotations for a certain time period. 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 date that is earlier than the current system date.

    To view detailed information, click a segment of the pie chart. The Purchase Quotations Details window appears, displaying a list of relevant purchase quotations and containing the following information: group number, document number, supplier name, supplier telephone number, reference number, and valid date information.

    You can also click a row in the table to open the corresponding SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA purchase quotation document.

  • Filter Data by Valid Date

    This dashboard enables you to filter open purchase quotations by expiration date. To do so, in the “Valid Until” No Later Than field, select a date. The chart presents all purchase quotations that expire before the specified date.

    Note Note

    If you specify a date earlier than the current system date, all displayed purchase quotations are overdue quotations.

    End of the note.
  • View Data of Selected Vendors/Items/Buyers

    By default, this dashboard displays data for all open purchase quotations (including overdue purchase quotations). You can use the filter to view data for selected vendors/vendor groups, items/item groups, and buyers. To do so, proceed as follows:

    • From the Choose Scope dropdown list, select to view data by Vendor, Item, or Buyer.

    • If you select Vendor or Item in the previous step, from the Choose Group dropdown list, select a group. The dashboard displays open purchase quotations for the specified vendor/item group.

    • If you want to view data for a specific vendor/item/buyer, from the Choose or Choose Buyer dropdown list, select a vendor/item/buyer.

      The dashboard displays open purchase quotations for the selected vendor/item/buyer only.
