A requested document is a document that vendors will need to submit as part of their RFQ response. Felix gives you the ability to specify which types of documents you wish to request from your vendors.

To add a requested document type:

  1. Navigate to Settings > RFQ Settings from your Felix dashboard
  2. Locate the Manage Requested Document Types section
  3. Click the Add Requested Document button in the top right of the section
  4. Add a name for the requested document type in the field provided
  5. Click the Save button

Change a requested document type's availability

Delete a requested document type
