How to submit an RFQ bid

RFQ bidding in prokurit.ai happens on the RFQs tab (when the event has Request for Quote) or Qual. Bids (auction qualification). Participants use Enter Bid then Submit on simple lots. Advanced lots confirm with Submit Bid. After a bid is in, Update Bid is not shown.

You will learn how to:

Open RFQs or Qual. Bids
Enter or reject a lot
Submit a bid before the deadline

📌 This guide walks you through submitting an RFQ bid in prokurit.ai.

Step-by-Step Guide: Submit a simple-lot bid

Step 1: Open RFQs or Qual. Bids

From View Event, click RFQs if the Host enabled Request for Quote, or Qual. Bids for auction qualification.

You should see RFQs / Lots or Qualifying bids.

If multiple rounds exist, pick Round → Round :n.

Step 2: Enter Bid or Reject Lot

On an idle simple lot row, click Enter Bid or Reject Lot.

For a bid, fill Your price per UOM, then Submit or Cancel.

Status becomes Bid Received or Lot Rejected.

Step-by-Step Guide: Submit an advanced-lot bid

Step 1: Open the lot card

Click Enter Bid (or Reject Lot).

Fill every cell. Missing cells show Please fill in every cell. There is no separate Validate button.

Step 2: Confirm Submit Bid

Click Submit.

You should see Submit Bid.

After submit, you cannot use Update Bid. That action is disabled.

Deadlines and ended events

If the deadline has passed: The RFQ deadline has passed, no more bids can be submitted here.

If the event has ended or you have view-only access, you cannot submit bids.

Key Considerations & Best Practices

✅ Simple lots label the save button Submit, not Submit Bid. Submit Bid appears on the advanced-lot confirmation.
✅ Rejecting a lot in qualification can block that line in the live auction.
✅ Hosts end bidding with End RFQ on Event Management. You will not be able to bid after that.
