How does the purchasing agent of a foreign trade company analyze a quotation? How is the purchase agent's quotation lists? The following is the quotation experience of purchasing agents.

1. purchasing agents should prevent suppliers from quoting in small units of measurement, thereby reducing your sensitivity to prices.

2. The exact number of decimal places on the quotation should be determined according to the purchase quantity.

3. When the purchasing agent analyzes and reviews the quotation, try to analyze it with the currency unit you are most commonly used or most familiar with. What quotation is used? Local currency)

4. purchasing agents should pay special attention to suppliers when interpreting quotations, they will improve your understanding of value as much as possible, and allow you to accept his prices naturally.

5 When a supplier's quotation is needed, the purchasing agent must learn to hide his purchasing purpose and grasp the purchasing demand. If you tell the supplier your needs in advance, and then ask the supplier for a quote, his quote may be outrageous.

6. purchasing agents should be good at analyzing the source of raw materials from suppliers, and improve the cost impact of abnormal factors in the procurement cost model. This helps us analyze the true cost of the supplier.

7. purchasing agents should pay attention to the problem that suppliers use positive tolerance quotations to calculate costs and negative tolerance production. In other words, sometimes when the supplier calculates the purchase cost, all are calculated according to the positive tolerance, but in fact, all the products are produced with the negative tolerance. The condition of the mold should be evaluated regularly.

8. purchasing agents should analyze whether there are pitfalls in the supplier's suggestions. The supplier’s advice is valuable, but it may contain conspiracy against us. We must identify the supplier’s “good intentions”.

9. The quotation should specify the brand of the raw material supplier, and the replacement should be certified for purchase. In this way, it can not only prevent suppliers from "recharging good quality", but also control costs and ensure quality.

10. Raw material review should not be relaxed, especially split quotation. Suppliers usually add "moisture" to raw materials, and it is easy for purchasing agents to accept them. Many purchasing agents invest very little resources and spend less time in the analysis of the supplier's raw material cost, especially when the price of raw materials changes greatly. For large materials, suppliers often take the opportunity to increase prices. The raw materials in the supplier's quotation cannot be moved, which is a wrong view.

11. purchasing agents should pay attention to the flexible items in the quotation. Supplier quotations often hide many items for flexible calculation of expenses. With this quotation strategy, suppliers can often successfully obtain substantial profits in the follow-up. If you are not paying attention to purchases, you will have to pay unnecessary costs. It is best to reduce the cost of flexible calculation items.

12. purchasing agents should analyze the distribution rate of costs as much as possible, rather than adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing costs. Because the distribution rate is relatively easy to compare with industries and suppliers. As mentioned earlier, suppliers often make fuss about raw materials. In fact, the cost of various projects, including direct wages, manufacturing costs, management costs, and financial costs are also very interesting.

13. Logic error is a problem that the purchasing agent needs to pay special attention to, especially the complicated quotation of the project. Suppliers often make such mistakes deliberately.
