We don't. Found it to be a very inefficient way to get pricing from suppliers. Of equal importance in our business is quoting delivery date/qty & Vantage RFQs simply don't support it.
All I can do with an RFQ is convert it to a supplier-part price list (and we've found price lists 'get in the way' w/ all but a handful of suppliers as our pricing fluctuates w/ currency exch rate changes as well as metal surcharge fluctuations.)
If they provided a (systemic) way to request specific price/qty/delivert dates of a part from multiple suppliers & support conversion of selected RFQs into fully detailed POs, they'd have value (justifying the systemic effort) to us.
They don't so they're pretty useless in our business.

Does anybody use RFQ in the Buyers Workbench?
Thanks
