QuoteCQ | How to Enter Customer-Supplied Parts as "Do Not Purchase"

If you need to quote an assembly without purchasing a particular component, CalcuQuote provides a way to designate parts as do not purchase (DNP).

After creating your new RFQ, go into the appropriate assembly's BOM tab to add and submit a BOM. Refer to these resources if you need assistance with structuring your BOM or uploading your BOM. Once you're ready to work with your BOM, there are two ways to mark parts as DNP:

From the BOM view:

Once your BOM has been entered into CalcuQuote, you may check or uncheck the "Purchase" box before submitting the BOM. Once the BOM is submitted, this part is treated as DNP and will not be included within Material Costing.

Within the BOM itself:

Whether you are using the CalcuQuote provided BOM template, your own format, or a customer's provided BOM - easily mark line items as DNP with a "Purchase" column.

  • Mark DNP lines as "false"

  • Parts for purchase can either be marked "true" or left blank

  • Map the column during BOM import (as necessary)

  • The system will automatically set lines marked false as DNP in the webview
