To create a RFQ from Jobs (WITH an existing budget and line items):

Select 'Actuals Costings'
Select the item that you want quoted
Click on 'New quote request' at the bottom of the screen.
Your request for quote will now appear.
Create a RFQ from jobs (WITHOUT an existing budget or specific line item):
Select the job, and because this job may not have an existing budget or the necessary line item, then;
Click on Request for Quote;
Click on Create New
Your request for quote will now appear.
Once you have chosen the winning supplier/contractor, the details from that RFQ will update the details in the quote accordingly.
