not seeing the vendor request for quote in the vendor center

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems like the issue of not seeing the Request for Quote (RFQ) in the vendor center could be due to several reasons: 1. The Bid Start and Bid End dates on the RFQ might not be set correctly. The vendor can start quoting after the Bid start date. 2. The vendor center role might not have access to the RFQ transaction. You need to ensure that the vendor has access and the role and permissions are correctly set. 3. The subsidiary cross-viewing box might not be checked in the role. This needs to be enabled for the vendor to view the RFQ. As for the issue of the award subtab not appearing on the RFQ form, it seems that the subtab only appears after the Bid Close Date. After this date, you can award the RFQ to a vendor. Regarding the use of purchase contracts in the RFQ process, it appears that the standard Advanced Procurement process in NetSuite cannot skip steps. The usual process is RFQ → Purchase Contract → Purchase Order. Lastly, for vendors to view files attached to the transaction in the vendor center, it seems that this is not natively supported in NetSuite. You might need to script this functionality or update the vendor center role to add documents under the lists tab in permissions. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
