•Oracle Purchasing allows to create a supplier lists according to criteria we define,
such as an item, manufacturing category, geographic location, or others.

•If you routinely send RFQs to the same group of suppliers, it makes sense to set
up a Supplier List.
•When you create a RFQ, you can copy one or more of your suppliers defined in
your Supplier List to your RFQ

they buy with the companies who supply them, either formally or informally.
