We are using MRP and generating PO suggestions. Some PO suggestions are tied to jobs and others are not. From the "New PO Suggestions" screen there is an option to "Create RFQ" but this only owrks if the suggestion is tied to a job. If the suggestion is to purchase to a warehouse (inventory) then you receive an error message: "Suggestions cannot be flagged for RFQ without a related Job."

I would imagine that companies might like to generated RFQs whether they are buying for a particular job or for inventory. Has anyone else run into this problem?

EPICOR tells me that they have identified this as an issue to correct in 9.1 but that it won't likely be corrected in 8 because I am only the 6th person to complain. (They require 15 complaints before correcting this type of problem so call them if this is a problem you have experienced. )

we also ran into the same problem and got the same 'we will fix it later' speech. i wish i was in an industry where that was considered an acceptable answer.
