Prerequisites

Supplier responses are always recorded in reference to a request for quote that must absolutely exist in the corresponding file.

Moreover the entry of the response elements is dependent on the price list structure code associated with the supplier. If no price list structure code has been associated with the supplier in the latter's record, the default structure code (created upon folder installation) is automatically taken into account.
