How to manage Purchase Tenders

Una Propuesta de Compra (PT), también conocida como Convocatoria, se utiliza para impulsar la competencia entre varios proveedores con el fin de obtener la mejor oferta para una lista de productos. En comparación con los RfQ, una propuesta de compra se envía a múltiples proveedores, indicando si cada uno compiten entre sí, y cual es la mejor oferta para ganar. El interés principal, por lo general conduce a mejores ofertas.
