RFQ vs Purchase Order
An RFQ is used before supplier selection. It helps you request prices from suppliers and compare their quotations.
A purchase order is used after supplier selection. It confirms the approved supplier, item quantity, price, delivery terms and payment terms.
For a better procurement process, create an RFQ first, compare supplier quotations, then issue a purchase order to the selected supplier.

- Company name
- Supplier name
- RFQ number
- RFQ date
- Quotation due date
- Item description

- Delivery location
- Payment terms
- Special instructions
A clear RFQ helps suppliers understand the requirement and submit better quotations. It also makes your procurement approval process cleaner and easier to manage.
