Create an RFQ or a Task directly from a Drawing Parts Opportunity

Learn how to create an RFQ or a Task directly from an Opportunity for a Drawing Parts price variance.

Overview

If Tacto detects a price deviation and therefore a savings potential for a Drawing Part, you receive a Finding of the type Drawing Parts price variance. If you work on this Finding in an Opportunity, you can create an RFQ or a Task directly from the Opportunity instead of creating it separately and then linking it manually.

What this means in practice:

  • For an RFQ, the Articles of the Opportunity and the linked Suppliers are prefilled automatically

  • For a Task, the linked Categories and Suppliers are prefilled automatically

How it works

Prerequisites

  • The Drawing Parts area must be enabled for your organization.

  • The Opportunity is linked to a Finding of the type Drawing Parts price variance.

  • To create a Task, you need permission to create Tasks; for an RFQ, you additionally need permission to create RFQs.
