> Creating a New Quotation from Requisition Line Items

Create a new quotation from existing approved requisition lines. The requisition line must have a Quotation indicator of 1 (Price quote requested before po) or 2 (Request a price quote).

Datastream 7i users with the proper authorization can create quotations from existing approved requisition lines with U (Unfinished) or R (Ready for printing) status.

   To grant users the authorization to create quotations from existing requisitions with U (Unfinished) or R (Ready for printing) status, you must create the appropriate status authorizations for the QUOT entity on the Status change authorization form (BNAUTH). You can also create equivalent user codes for U (Unfinished) or R (Ready for printing) status to which to assign to generated quotations.
