Requirements for Customer Instant Pricing
Customer Instant Pricing is available only when all of the following conditions are met:
Instant Pricing is enabled in your vendor account configuration settings.
You actively work with a material supplier that connects with Parts Portal via API.
Your API connection is successfully configured.

If any of these requirements are not met, customers will see "N/A" under the price columns and will need to click "Submit Request". This will generate a request to you and you can issue the quote manually.

Automatic Price Updates
To help keep pricing accurate, the system automatically refreshes the material pricing daily.
Open quotes that do not have manually entered pricing will automatically update with the latest material pricing.
Updates occur daily at 2:00 AM.
If material pricing is manually entered, it will not be overwritten.
Quotes that have already been issued are not affected.
This helps ensure your quotes reflect current supplier costs without requiring manual updates.
