A request for quote (RFQ) allows you to send suppliers a request for a quote on a list of goods or services. RFQs are at the core of Fairmarkit and are built to help you be more efficient and effective in your sourcing process.

RFQs can be created automatically through an ERP/P2P integration or manually added within Fairmarkit. With the Fairmarkit API, you can create, retrieve, update, or delete an RFQ.

We don't currently provide the ability to update the items field.
