Supplyframe offers your customers a set of "System Standard" column fields that they can use when sharing line items with you to be quoted. However, your customers can choose to hide specific standard columns and/or create their own columns in order to match the type of information that they are looking to collect from you.
Some of these columns may be identified as Required Columns, which means that your customer won’t consider items if missing this information. Required columns are identified in the application with a yellow border around the cell.
In your RFQ, the customer has the option to identify columns as required but not enforce this requirement for submission. This means that even while the required columns will trigger red validation errors, the lines with missing data will still be submitted to your customer.
To tell if your customer chose to offer this exception, check next to the RFQ's header to see if it says: "Partial Responses” are Accepted or Not Accepted.
