Enter the vendor&#8217;s details and add the product(s) you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Alternatives<\/strong>: Go to the <strong>Alternatives<\/strong> tab within the RFQ and click on <strong>Create Alternative<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select Alternative Vendors<\/strong>: A pop-up will appear, allowing you to select different vendors for the same product. You can choose to copy the products from the original RFQ to each alternative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compare Product Lines<\/strong>: Once you have multiple RFQs, click <strong>Compare Product Lines<\/strong> in the Alternatives tab.
