Hi Margot,
In this case it's going to depend on what business you're in and who is sending you the Request for/Invitation to Quote (RFQ/ITQ).
Some companies (and government organizations) require the use of their forms, others allow you to use your forms but provide
instructions (which sometimes don't actually accompany the request, but are available separately) as to what information they want.
Some want just a bottom line number and delivery dates, some want a complete breakdowns of your costs, overhead expenses and profit
margin.
===============
Thanks, Paul. That was the first place I looked. I have taken the step of
adapting a business plan and parts of a another form.
I use templates extensively and was looking for something along the line of
an outline preformatted with the hints that for newbies
HAte to re-invent the wheel if there is a jum off point already available. >>
