Allow Creation of RFQ from Material Demand report #19

Closed agritheory closed 1 year ago

agritheory commented 1 year ago

Change the "Create PO(s)" button to just "Create" with the following options:

"Create PO(s)" would have the same behavior as currently implemented "Create RFQ(s)" would have the similar behavior as "Create PO(s)" but create RFQs instead for each supplier-item combination "Create based on Item" would create a PO for the items that are not configured to require an RFQ

Items are configured with a custom field "Requires RFQ?" in the Item Supplier doctype

@agritheory

When we select more than one item, from the same supplier, at the time of making an RFQ, do we group them into a single RFQ? Although this is the behavior we expect, the call mentions one RFQ per item.

Isn't clear to me based on which criteria we should create one RFQ per Supplier and when we should make one RFQ for all the Suppliers.

@fproldan I think you're right, but I think we want something in between what's specified in the ticket and what you're describing Consider this scenario: image We should expect two RFQs to be created in this case - one to Freedom and one Unity Bakery for Parchment Paper and Pie Box and another RFQ to only Unity for Pie Tin.

We don't want to send an RFQ to a supplier for an item that we don't want them to quote, which can be easily controlled in Material Demand.
