Request for Quote	Send a request to one or more vendors asking them to provide specifics about their pricing, terms and conditions concerning a purchase contract for a product they sell.
Requisitions	Use Requisition transactions to initiate the purchasing process when an employee or company representative needs something that must be purchased using company funds. The person requesting the purchase (requestor) specifies which items, services or expenses they need a buyer to purchase. Buyers can then use requisitions to create the purchase orders necessary to fulfill the requisition requests. Note: This feature creates the system-generated Requisitions account when enabled.
Purchase Contracts	Purchasing managers and buyers can use contracted terms, pricing, and delivery schedules when purchasing materials for a company. For example, instead of basing terms and pricing only on a specific purchase order, buyers can automatically use quantity-based terms and discounts derived from an annual volume of goods or services purchased.
Blanket Purchase Orders	Improve buyer efficiency and accuracy and potentially reduce procurement spending. Blanket purchase orders define a predetermined price for a set quantity of items you buy from a vendor during a time period. The blanket purchase order specifies the item, price, quantity, terms, and effective time period.
