Not sure what you are asking.
Can you give us an example?

There isn't anything specifically set up to do this but you can create a Purchase Order Form Code to represent a Quote Request and email it just like a regular PO.

If you are on 4.3 or above, electronic forms delivery in Paperless Office can be setup to handle it.

Yes there is another way, if you Preview the purchase order you can then click on the white envelope and select MAPI as destination and the system will send out email with po as PDF attachement.

I previewed a purchase order to check this out and do not see a white envelope. We are on v4.2.

In the setup options you need to have the form set to Graphical.

I have helped a couple of clients setup PO's for doing RFQ's. What I usually recommend, in addition to creating a separate form code to print the information you want to appear on the form, is to use the "Repeating Order" purchase order type. Otherwise, you'll have to remember to delete the PO immediately after you print/email it. If you don't delete it, your inventory files will indicate the items are on PO when they really aren't.
Furthermore, using the Repeating Order will allow you to retain the RFQ until you decide which vendor you're going to actually buy those items from, and then you can create a "live" PO by copying it from the RFQ Repeating order. At 4.4, you can use the memo function in the PO Entry screen to maintain notes about which vendors you've sent the RFQ to, which ones have responded, etc. You can just change the vendor number on the PO each time you have a different vendor you want to submit that list of items to for quotation and reprint. You can go back and delete the repeating order later, whenever you want to. As a repeating order, you can keep it around as long as you'd like to without affecting the inventory "on PO" quantities.
I also recommend using a numbering sequence for the RFQ/Repeating PO's that is completely outside of your normal numbering schema so they stick out easily as being RFQ's. Adding one or more alpha characters at the beginning of the number is a great way to do this. It also gives the added benefit of making them all drop down to the bottom of your PO list, so they aren't listed at the top of, or mixed in between, your standard PO's when you do lookups.
