ShopCQ: The Stages of Purchasing

The Purchasing Funnel helps to organize the stage for each demand line.

Clicking on the Purchasing Funnel (located near the top right side of ShopCQ) allows you to filter for:

Demand Imported


Demand has been imported and pending market research to determine supplier and pricing.

Market Researched

Pricing has been researched for the demand (either manually entered through ShopCQ Price Selector, or using Update Pricing).​

Supplier Selected

After researching supplier and pricing information, use AutoSelect to make a selection for each line.

Selected For PO

After a supplier is selected, each Demand Line can be added to a PO. Once it has been added to a PO, the Demand Line will be shown in 'Selected For PO'.
