Review RFQ Responses
Background
When a A Change Event is any event resulting in a modification that affects the scope of work on a construction project and the project's schedule and/or cost(s). In Procore, a change event can be recorded in the system and precedes the creation of a change order, which allows your team members and stakeholders to prepare for a cost change before it becomes an actual cost. In Procore, a Commitment is a purchase order or subcontract. Both commitment types are contracts that represent a legally enforceable financial agreement between two parties.
Your team can assign an RFQ to a collaborator and then send it to the collaborator email. See Assign an RFQ. Next, your collaborator can submit their quote as described in Submit a Quote as a Collaborator. Then, you can proceed with the steps below.
If your team doesn't want to grant collaborators the permissions they need to submit a quote directly in Procore, you can manage the quote submission process outside of Procore. If you choose this option, you will want to enter the quote you received into Procore as described in Respond to an RFQ on Behalf of a Collaborator. Then, you can proceed with the steps below.
Things to Consider
Required User Permissions:
To review an RFQ response, 'Read Only' level permissions or higher on the project's Change Events tool and access to view the related commitment.
To change the status of the RFQ, you must have 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Change Events tool.
