CalcuQuote#

CalcuQuote is an external RFQ / component-quoting service used to pull supplier prices and lead times for BOM components. ManexCloud caches the results and lets buyers use them to drive PO creation.

Data#

• CalcuQuote — cached quote data pulled from the external API.
• CalcuQuoteToken — API auth token / session.
• CalcQuoteSupplierMappings — mapping between CalcuQuote supplier IDs and internal SupInfo supplier IDs so quotes resolve to a known supplier.
• CalcuConfig — connection settings (endpoint, credentials, buyer defaults).

Flow#

1. Buyer initiates an RFQ from the BOM or shortage list.
2. CalcuQuoteHelper calls the CalcuQuote API and stores results in CalcuQuote.
3. Prices / lead-times are shown in the buyer’s review UI.
4. Buyer selects a winning supplier per line; the mapping resolves the CalcuQuote supplier to an internal supplier via CalcQuoteSupplierMappingsHelper.
5. A PO is generated from the selected quote lines.

Business rules#

• If a CalcuQuote supplier has no mapping to an internal supplier, the buyer must create the mapping before a PO can be generated.
• Quote data has a validity window — expired quotes cannot be converted to POs without a refresh.
• Configuration lives per-tenant in CalcuConfig. Credentials are stored server-side, never surfaced to the browser.
