On the RFI/Clarifications tab, you can view and maintain requests for information (RFIs) related to the selected inquiry. This tab enables bidders to submit questions to the buyer about the inquiry.

In the first (RFIs) block, the RFIs assigned to the selected inquiry appear. If you select the Show only my RFIs check box on top, only RFIs submitted by you(r company) appear. Your RFIs are highlighted with light green.

To create a new RFI, enter a sequence number in the Seq field, and select the status of the RFI from the dropdown list in the RFI Status field. The available options are Open and Closed. If the status is set to Closed, the RFI cannot be changed.

Select the date when the RFI was created from the LOV in the Date field. Enter the RFI subject in the Subject field.

Select the Submit Answer check box to submit this RFI to the requesting company. If the check box is selected, you cannot change this RFI and the associated questions any longer, and you cannot add more questions to the RFI.

To be able to submit the RFI, at least one question must be assigned to the RFI.

In the second (Questions) block, the questions associated with the selected RFI appear. In the Requested By field, enter the name of the person who asks the question with his phone number in the Contact Tel field. Enter the question in the Question Details field.

When the buyer has answered the question, the answer appears in the third (Answers) block.

A question can only be answered if the RFI is submitted.

The name of the person who answers the question appears in the Answered By field with his phone number in the Contact Tel field. The Date Answered field shows the date when the answer was entered. In the Answer Details field, the answer to the selected question appears.

The Submit Answer check box indicates if the answer is submitted to the bidder(s).

If the answer is sent to all bidders, the RFI and the question are also included in the email, but without mentioning the requester and his phone number. The other bidders do not know who asked the question. If project default ZP_HIDEQ is set to Y, '---' is displayed in the email instead of the question.

The Addend Rqd check box indicates if an addendum is required. The addendum number is shown in the Addend No. field.
