Team buying has been expanded to now include the request for quotes (RFQ) process. Guided buying teams can now collaborate to create RFQs and send them to suppliers.
The RFQ in our current solution can be only be created and retrieved by the requester. This prevents multi-user teams from collaborating naturally and directly on the RFQ document in the guided buying user experience.
Expanding team access to RFQ allows for multiple end users with different skill sets or responsibilities to collaborate on RFQ documents in guided buying.

To enable team RFQs, you must set the following guided buying parameters to true:
- PARAM_ENABLE_TEAM_RFQ: A new parameter that enables team RFQs.
- PARAM_TEAM_BUYING: Enables the team buying and receiving feature.
- PARAM_ENABLE_ENHANCED_RFQ_INTEGRATION: Enables communication of RFQs and events through APIs instead of cXML.
PARAM_ENABLE_EDIT_RFQ: Allows users to change RFQs after sending them to customers. Also displays the Save butt
This feature works in conjunction with the existing guided buying parameter PARAM_DISABLE_USER_TEAM_MANAGEMENT. By default, users can create teams. However, you can set this parameter to true to disable team-creation controls for users; then they can only use teams created by administrators.
For more information about guided buying parameters, see How to update guided buying parameters.
Unlike team buying and receiving, users can't change the team after they create an RFQ. To change the team, they must delete the RFQ and create a new one.
