In the Schedule tab under Production and then bid requests, the presenter selects bid request items such as cabinet installer and engineering, then adds vendors like Alex and checks that each has an email or phone number. They set a deadline such as one week, add notes or files, optionally review advanced requirements, and then send to the vendor. After sending, the status shows how many RFQs are not sent or sent, and reminders or a new bid request can be created if needed.</description></oembed>
