Quote Compare
How to validate supplier quotes against a BOM.
Quote validation checks whether the supplier quote actually covers the material the team intends to buy.
Match quote lines to BOM lines
Use vendor part numbers, quoted descriptions, quantities, units, and unit prices to find matched and unmatched material.
Preserve exceptions
Missing items, extras, possible substitutions, price issues, and quantity mismatches should stay visible instead of being hidden inside totals.
Use as a purchasing review
A quote-validation report supports procurement review. It should not be treated as final purchasing approval without human review.
