| Specify product in response |
Substitute a product in the RFQ response. This is especially useful for a made-to-order item. The buyer may include a made-to-order item in the RFQ; the seller then reviews the RFQ, and substitutes the item the buyer had for one the seller has in the catalog. This can only happen if the buyer has stated that the product can be substituted. If the item does not exist in the current catalog, the seller has to create the item first. |
