The buyer creates a new RFQ — gives it a title, sets a deadline, chooses a currency and adds internal notes. A unique reference number like RFQ-2026-0042 is auto-generated.
The buyer adds each product line item (code, description, qty, unit, target price) and selects which suppliers to invite to quote. Documents can be attached.
