How Customers Submit Reorder RFQs
Customers can submit a reorder RFQ using previously manufactured parts stored in Parts Portal. Instead of uploading new files, customers select an existing part from their history.
When a reorder RFQ is submitted:
Part details are pulled from the existing Part record
Files, materials, and specifications are reused
Quantities and timelines can be adjusted
The RFQ is then routed to the vendor for review.
Vendor Review for Reorder RFQs
Reorder RFQs automatically prefill using historical data from the Part record, giving vendors immediate visibility into:
Previous pricing
Last quoted or ordered quantities
Material and process details
Historical lead times
Vendors review the RFQ to confirm the information is still accurate before issuing a quote.
Reorders with Instant Pricing
For parts configured with instant pricing:
Pricing is automatically calculated using the existing Part record
No manual pricing input is required
Quotes can be issued immediately
This allows vendors to quickly respond to repeat orders while maintaining pricing consistency.
Reorders without Instant Pricing
For parts not configured for instant pricing:
The RFQ is prefilled with historical part data
Vendors can adjust pricing, quantities, or lead times as needed
Quotes are manually reviewed and submitted
This provides flexibility for parts that require updated costing or production considerations.
Key Benefits of Reorder RFQs
Faster quoting using historical data
Reduced data entry for both customers and vendors
Consistent pricing and specifications across repeat orders
