Overview
With this release, you can create requests or RFQs directly from Analytics – without switching to other modules.
This means:
Direct connection from Analytics → Requesting / RFQ
Access via batch actions (three-dot menu)
Articles and/or suppliers are automatically added to the request
No manual copying or re-selecting required
What problem does this feature solve?
Previously, many analysis workflows ended in Analytics without a direct follow-up action.
With this release, we enable end-to-end use cases – from analysis to operational execution.
Typical use cases:
Request prices for multiple articles as preparation for a supplier negotiation
Benchmark prices for multi-sourcing articles
Request new payment terms from suppliers with unfavorable conditions
How it works
