      QuoteCQ: How to Update Pricing

      QuoteCQ has three ways of capturing pricing and availability information for line items on your bill of material (BOM):

      APIs

      The fastest of the three methods, Update Pricing can instantly search the manufacture part numbers in your BOM across several different distributors and present you with the most current and accurate information. To use Update Pricing, follow the below instructions:

      1. Navigate to the Material Costing tab.
      2. Click 'Update Pricing' in the top right corner.
      3. Choose the supplier APIs you wish to query.
      4. After Update Pricing has complete, use AutoSelect to choose your pricing. To use AutoSelect, follow these instructions. 

      Historical Pricing and Inventory

        From the Update Pricing button, together with the APIs, you will also be able to price from your internal Data Source and from your Historical Pricing.

        Bid Sheets

        A very effective way to collect components pricing and availability.

        Manual Price

        The final way of entering pricing on Material Costing. This is useful in cases where you want to make a single entry or make a minor adjustment to the entries from the previous two methods based on new information.
