Checking the checkbox creates a need for the RFQ only. When checking
that suggestion checkbox you are trying to link the RFQ to a Job or
Quote.
Since you are in the Buyer workbench already, go to the RFQ section of
your workbench and press the RFQ entry button. Create the RFQ. The
supplier responses will populate the Supplier Price List and the
Decision wizard will allow you to accept a response and create a PO for
the item. The creation of the PO will remove the inventory purchase
suggestion or you can delete the purchase suggestion yourself.

Subject: [Vantage] RFQs from buyer's workbench
As a normal process we decided to set parts as stocked and enter sales
orders not make direct, allow mrp to run over night to generate unfirm
jobs and purchasing suggestions. Our plan was to use the Job Status
Maintenance for converting unfirm jobs and Buyers Work Bench to issue
RFQs and Purchase Orders. As we attempt to issue RFQs we get an error
message "suggestions cannot be flagged for RFQ without a related job".
If anyone else has had simualar issues please let us know how you
resolved them.
