Track quotation status
Vendor Quotation Management focuses on quotation edits, attachments, statuses, buyer expectations, and response discipline. The vendor portal keeps supplier collaboration close to RFQs, quotations, purchase orders, attachments, and audit history.
The practical goal is secure participation. Vendors should see only their own work, understand what the buyer expects, and leave enough evidence for the buying team to trust the response.
In practice, a vendor corrects an attachment and updates delivery terms while keeping the quotation status clear for the buyer.

Supplier workflow
- Supplier collaboration should be scoped to the right vendor account.
- RFQs, quotations, purchase orders, and attachments should remain tied to source records.
- Portal users need secure access, clear deadlines, and visible statuses.
- External users should never rely on informal messages as the system of record.
