Odoo Split RFQ

How to Split an RFQ in Odoo?

Managing multiple vendors for a single purchase requirement can be challenging, especially when different suppliers handle different products or locations. The Odoo Split RFQ module simplifies this process by allowing users to split selected Request for Quotation (RFQ) lines into a new quotation without manually recreating purchase orders.

The module enables users to move selected order lines to a new RFQ while automatically removing them from the original quotation. It also includes an Extract feature that creates a new RFQ with selected products while keeping those lines in the existing quotation, giving purchasing teams greater flexibility.

Why Do You Need an Odoo Split RFQ?

Purchasing teams often need to divide a single RFQ into multiple quotations for operational efficiency. Instead of creating new RFQs manually, the Split RFQ module automates the entire process.

Vendor Specialization

Different vendors may specialize in supplying specific products. Splitting an RFQ allows you to send only the relevant items to each supplier, ensuring better pricing and faster procurement.

Geographical Distribution

When products need to be delivered to multiple warehouses, branches, or customer locations, separate RFQs can be generated for each destination, simplifying logistics and vendor coordination.

Better Price Comparison

Sending separate RFQs to different vendors for the same or selected products makes it easier to compare quotations and choose the most cost-effective supplier.

Managing Large Purchase Orders

Large procurement orders can become difficult to manage in a single quotation. Splitting them into multiple RFQs improves tracking, approval workflows, and vendor communication.

Department-wise Procurement

Organizations with multiple departments can split purchase requests into separate RFQs, allowing each department to manage its own procurement process independently.

Flexible Vendor Allocation

When supplier availability changes or certain products become unavailable, selected order lines can quickly be moved to a new RFQ assigned to another vendor without recreating the entire quotation.
