+You use this module if you wish to give notification of requirements of
+materials and/or external services and keep track of such requirements.
+
+Requests can be created either directly or indirectly. "Directly" means
+that someone from the requesting department enters a purchase request
+manually.
+
+The person creating the request determines what and how much to order,
+and the requested date.
+
+"Indirectly" means that the purchase request initiated by the
+application automatically, for example, from procurement orders (MO,
+SO).
+
+A purchase request is an instruction to Purchasing to procure a certain
+quantity of materials services, so that they are available at a certain
+point in time.
+
+A line of a request contains the quantity and requested date of the
+material to be supplied or the quantity of the service to be performed.
+You can indicate the service specifications if needed.
+
+Once request is approved go to the Purchase Request Lines from the menu
+entry 'Purchase Requests', and also from the 'Purchase' menu.
+
+Select the lines that you wish to initiate the RFQ for, then go to
+'More' and press 'Create RFQ'.
+
+You can choose to select an existing RFQ or create a new one. In the
+later, you have to choose a supplier.
+
+In case that you chose to select an existing RFQ, the application will
+search for existing lines matching the request line, and will add the
+extra quantity to them, recalculating the minimum order quantity, if it
+exists for the supplier of that RFQ.
+
+In case that you create a new RFQ, the request lines will also be
+consolidated into as few as possible lines in the RFQ.
