3600086 - Limitation with Supplier Quotation

Symptom

Unable to submit partial quotations with fewer line items in the "Manage RFQs" app.

Additionally, there is no functionality to remove unquoted line items from the supplier's quote, and suppliers are required to quote on all line items, which limits flexibility in the bidding process.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Request for Quotation (RFQ) in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

  2. Send the RFQ to suppliers for quotation.

  3. Observe that the system requires suppliers to quote for all line items,and does not allow partial quotations or the omission of certain items.

  4. Attempting to delete unquoted line items from the supplier quote is not possible, as line items cannot be removed from the RFQ.

Cause

The current design of the "Manage RFQs" app does not support partial quotations. Suppliers are required to quote on all items included in the RFQ. Additionally, it is not possible to delete unquoted line items from the supplier quote.

 The items are pre-filled, and while the supplier can reduce the quantities for any item, the system does not allow for the removal of line items entirely.

Resolution

At present, partial quotations are not supported in the "Manage RFQs" app in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. 

Regarding the deletion of unquoted line items, the system allows reduced quantities for items, but it is not possible to remove or delete line items from the RFQ or make the quantity as zero.

So please consider the below options

1. For future enhancements, customers who require partial quotation functionality or the ability to delete unquoted line items in SAP S/4HANA Cloud should submit a feature request via the SAP Customer Influence Portal.
