Set a Default Quote and Supplier

You can select a quote, and by extension a supplier, to set as the default. This default is used to roll up cost information in an item’s Bill of Materials (BOM), helping support what-if analysis.

1. Go to the Sourcing tab.

2. Click Edit to enable editing.

3. Expand the supplier row to view the quote you want to set as default.

4. In the row of the quote you want to use as the default, select the Use As Default radio button.

   This sets the selected quote (and by extension, the supplier) as the default. The default will be used in all newly created BOMs.

5. Click Save.

6. In the dialog box that opens, choose one of the following options:

   • No, do not modify any BOMs: Sets the default quote for future BOMs only. Existing BOMs that include this item will not be changed.
   • Yes, update all parent assemblies: Updates all existing BOMs that include this item to use the new default supplier and cost information.
   • Yes, but update only the parent assemblies that used the previous default quote: Updates only the BOMs that were using the previous default quote. BOMs that contain this part but use other quotes remain unchanged.

In all three cases, future BOMs that include this item will use the new default quote.
