What's New in QuoteCQ?
Second Chance BidSheet Flow
A new Second Change option has been added to Bid By Line Card that includes a Supplier Preference dropdown with options to exclude the current supplier or provide a second chance opportunity.
Why do I care? Users can send a second chance bidsheet to suppliers, allowing them to input a new target price and send it to reps for better pricing. These enhancements ensure optimal supplier negotiations and efficient pricing adjustments.
BOM Insights Update: Preferred Vendor Check on Material Costing Review!
Ever wonder if your selected supplier matches your preferred vendor you imported via BOM Insights? Now, you can easily see any differences right on the Material Costing Review. This nifty update ensures you’re always in the know and making the best choices for your builds!
Why do I care? Quickly spot differences between your selected supplier and preferred vendor from BOM Insights (which uses your data directly in the CQ application) in the Material Costing Review Button.
Alternate Handling when no Original MPN is present
Significant improvements have been made to Alternate Handling if an MPN is not present when importing the BOM.
-
BOM Tab: Users can now submit a BOM even without an "Original" MPN. For any blank MPN scenarios, an "NA" will be automatically appended.
-
Material Costing Tab: Material costing can also proceed without the "Original" MPN, with an "NA" added for blank MPNs.
-
Alternate Approval Tab: If an "Original" MPN is missing, a blank row will be added as an "original" MPN.
Why do I care? These updates simplify the submission and review process, making it more efficient and user-friendly when working with descriptions, alternates, and cross-matches. No more dirty data!!

Price Validation from QuoteCQ to ShopCQ
Ever wonder if you're working with outdated API pricing from QuoteCQ? Now, our new tooltip will let you know! Get ready to gather fresh pricing and keep your projects on track with the latest and greatest rates. It's time to say goodbye to stale data and hello to smarter decision-making!
Why do I care? This flag double-checks that you have the most up-to-date API pricing to ensure smooth sailing when sending your PO via the OrderAPIs and the suppliers have all relevant data needed.
Update to allow for multiple supplier shipping locations and accounts
Now you can send POs via OrderAPIs using different Supplier Account IDs and Shipping IDs, all through a single OrderAPI. This streamlined process accommodates sites with potentially different Supplier Account IDs based on region/site, ensuring smooth purchasing experiences for all users.
Why do I care? Now users that do not have central accounts for different sites can use 1 API via ShopCQ to send POs via the OrderAPIs.
Stay Ahead with Future-Dated POs!
We've introduced a helpful new feature to ensure your orders are always on track:
-
Smart Validation: Now, the system checks if a line is added to a PO with an old delivery date, keeping you informed and preventing any surprises.
-
Easy Date Adjustment: When sending POs, you'll have the option to change delivery dates to the future in bulk, giving you more control and flexibility over your orders.
Why do I care? Let the system do the work for you by validating any missed dock dates by calling attention to them and bulk updating them so the OrderAPIs can read the data properly.
10 Digit Max for Manual Pricing Added to ShopCQ too!!
Now if your manual pricing has currency conversations, you'll have the room to do it with a 10 digit max for those prices. note: this does not apply to API pricing
