it will then be submitted to the vendor.

5
00:00:10,322 --> 00:00:12,975

00:00:12,975 --> 00:00:15,294
you will receive an email notification

7
00:00:15,294 --> 00:00:18,277

00:00:38,429 --> 00:00:41,542
On the RFQ Details Page, you will be able to create

14
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:45,459

15
00:00:45,687 --> 00:00:48,599

27
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:30,133

is needed in the Comments section

33
00:01:43,775 --> 00:01:47,409
to ensure the vendor gets credit for a valid justification.

34
00:01:47,409 --> 00:01:50,084
This also allows the PCL to collect data

35
00:01:50,084 --> 00:01:52,667

36
00:01:52,905 --> 00:01:55,488

38
00:01:59,238 --> 00:02:03,236
Once submitted, the RFQ is then removed from your profile,

39
00:02:03,236 --> 00:02:06,653
