Who it's for

Build-to-print part suppliers

Build-to-print suppliers quote against a customer's drawing. The same part number can come back several times at a new revision, a different lot size or a stricter certificate, and each time the estimator has to show which version of the request the price answers. Sales and estimating need the requirement, the priced lines and the reviewer's decision to sit on the same quote revision.

How Aerospace Components CPQ is set up for you

Requirement before price

Record the part revision, lot quantity, certificate type and required by date in aerospace requirements and have a Pricing Reviewer approve them before the quote is priced and sent.

Margin visible at review

Keep unit cost USD on each quote line beside the unit price and discount, so the reviewer can see a thin margin on a small lot before approving.

Revision history the customer can follow

Return a quote for rework when the customer changes the drawing revision, and price the next revision with its own decision, keeping the earlier one on file.

Start with one Organization, the customers who send you the most repeat requests, and the open quotes your estimators are working on this month. Load the certificate types you are asked for most often and agree how part revisions are written. Run a handful of quotes through requirement review, pricing, pricing review and acceptance before loading older quotes. Keep the order or ERP system that receives accepted quotes as a connection to set up, with a named owner.
