This workflow explains how to enable the feature, create purchase agreements, and leverage the &#8220;Call For Tender&#8221; functionality to compare quotations from multiple vendors for the same product, ultimately helping to secure the best price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enable Purchase Agreements:<\/strong> First, navigate to the &#8220;Purchase&#8221; module in Odoo 18, then go to &#8220;Settings,&#8221; and ensure that &#8220;Purchase Agreements&#8221; is enabled. This feature allows for long-term purchasing from a single vendor at a fixed price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Understand Call For Tender:<\/strong> The video then explains that &#8220;Call For Tender&#8221; is used when purchasing a single chemical (e.g., steel chemical for panel manufacturing) from multiple vendors to compare prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Access Purchase Agreements:<\/strong> Go to &#8220;Purchase Agreements&#8221; under the &#8220;Purchase&#8221; module.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a New Purchase Order (Quotation):<\/strong> Create a new purchase order by clicking &#8220;New&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select Vendor and Product:<\/strong> Select a vendor (e.g., &#8220;BASF India Limited&#8221;) and add the required product (e.g., &#8220;Isocyanate&#8221;) with its quantity and unit price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create Alternative Quotations (Call For Tender):<\/strong> Utilize the &#8220;Create Alternative&#8221; option to generate new quotations for the same product from other vendors (e.g., &#8220;Covestro&#8221;). This allows for a comparison of prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compare Alternatives:<\/strong> Review the alternatives, noting the different prices offered by each vendor (e.g., Covestro at 137.80 and BASF at 134.40). The system helps in deciding which vendor offers the best price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirm the Best Offer:<\/strong> Finally, based on the comparison, confirm the order with the vendor providing the most favorable price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The steps below guide you through understanding and implementing the &#8220;Call For Tender&#8221; feature in Odoo18, particularly for purchasing raw [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[355],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bharath-india"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25507\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/odoo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
