Frequently asked questions

What is “Request for Quotation”?

Structured Request for Quotation issued by a buyer to prospective suppliers asking for price, delivery and commercial terms against a defined item list. Aligned with ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.4.2 (type and extent of control of externally provided processes), ISO 20400:2017 guidance on sustainable procurement sourcing and with Incoterms 2020 (ICC publication 723E) for the delivery-term enumeration. On papii this document is available as template generic.procurement.rfq: a JSON Schema plus a deterministic PDF renderer, so the same data always produces the same document.

Can I generate a Request for Quotation with AI?

Yes. chut.app — the AI back office papii powers — fills this template from a plain-language description: you describe the document in one sentence, the AI structures the data, papii validates it against the schema and renders the PDF. Developers can also call the papii API directly with structured JSON.

Is the Request for Quotation template legally compliant?

This template is render-verified: its schema, sample data and PDF output are automatically tested on every release. It is published with status “ready”, meaning it has not yet been through papii’s final legal review. Where it references specific legislation, that is stated in the template description — always have a professional check documents with legal effect before relying on them.
