Related inquiries

In this box you can create a new inquiry "related" to the inquiry in question. For example, if you wish to revise the inquiry or send a copy of it to another supplier.

A related inquiry is linked to the primary inquiry from which it was created. If this link between inquiry and the related inquiry is not necessary, you can use the regular Save as function on the toolbar of the procedure.

When you click the Create related inquiry button , a dialog box will open where you can enter a new inquiry number or leave it empty in order to load the next available inquiry number from the number series. Here you can select inquiry type. The header and rows are copied to the new inquiry by default.

You can also choose which prices to load as current prices to the new inquiry. If there are supplier links for the parts, those prices will be loaded. Otherwise the prices will be loaded from the rows of the (current) initial inquiry.

You can also set the related inquiry as primary by default. It is also possible to afterwards select in the box which inquiry should be the primary one.
