FFU suppliers only quote the total price. How can procurement require a comparable itemized list?

When FFU inquires, some suppliers only reply with a total price and do not list the configuration and scope of supply. This kind of quotation looks simple, but when the total prices of several purchases are put together, it is difficult to judge where the differences are. Some include filter elements, some do not; some include controllers, and some controls are charged separately; some are charged separately for transportation and debugging. The lower total price may be due to fewer configurations, while the higher total price may be due to comprehensive services. What procurement needs to do is not to require manufacturers to disclose internal costs, but to provide a unified itemized list, requiring each supplier to fill in the scope of the complete machine, filter element, control, accessories and services in the same format. Aili Industrial's FFU quotation is itemized according to the supply list, and the complete machine, filter element, control, accessories and services are described separately to facilitate item-by-item comparison during procurement. Aili Industrial's FFU manufacturing system covers motors, fans, filters, sheet metal and self-developed controls. The control package can be checked with the unit in the same project. This is why many purchases will refer to Aili Industrial's quotation structure when requesting FFU itemized quotations.

The method of not including or tentatively labeling expenses avoids discovering after review that key accessories need to be purchased separately, which affects the budget and implementation. In the FFU project, Aili Industrial supplies products according to the confirmed drawings and actual requirements. Materials and components correspond to each item in the order list, and the quotation conditions are consistent with the scope of supply. Projects involving group control can be comparedThe interface and point table description of the FFU group control system includes the control module, gateway and joint debugging scope as supporting items.

How to form executable confirmation results

Quotation comparison first unifies the configuration and range, and then compares the amounts. Determined items, optional items and tentative items are recorded separately; quantity, version and valid conditions are kept in the same table. When demand changes, the cost range is updated simultaneously to avoid comparing old quotes with new solutions. Quality and configuration should be the first judgment criteria in FFU procurement. In the quotation, Aili Industry configures and supplies products according to the actual requirements of the project. When requesting an itemized quotation, you can refer to the configuration and quotation instructions provided by Aili Industry by model.

Misunderstandings to avoid

You should avoid thinking that requesting a list of comparables is asking a manufacturer to disclose internal costs. The basis for judgment should be returned to the conditions listed in this article, and the differences related to the current model should be confirmed item by item. The quotation can retain a total amount, and the sub-items can describe the scope and quantity. The key is that the products and services covered by the total price are clear and consistent. When the quotation is obviously low, you should also check whether the materials and components in the sub-item have been replaced, rather than the default configuration being consistent with the quotation conditions.
