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 can select an individual part or bundle multiple parts from their order history into a single reorder request.
When a reorder RFQ is submitted:
Part details are pulled from the respective Part records for each line item
Files, materials, and specifications are reused
Costs, quantities, and times 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 each individual Part record, giving vendors immediate visibility into previous materials, operations, and pricing details for every line item in the request.
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 costs, quantities, or times as needed
Quotes are manually reviewed and submitted
This provides flexibility for parts that require updated costing or production considerations.
Note: If a customer submits a multi-part reorder containing a mix of both instant-priced and manually-priced items, you will only need to manually review and price the line items that lack instant configuration.
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
