What are the different RFQ statuses and how do they affect cost and variation amounts?
Answer
Below is a list of available Request for Quote (RFQ) statuses. Some status changes occur automatically and some must be manually change by a user. Some status changes also automatically update the 'Action required by' person assigned to the RFQ. Some status changes also affect the 'Latest Cost' amount for a change event line item and the amount is automatically updates in the project's variations.

Notes
- If a change event line item Revenue ROM is set to “Automatically Follow Latest Cost”, then the RFQ status will also affect the Latest Cost that pulls into the Revenue ROM.
- If a Main VAR is created for a change event line item, that value will override the RFQ value on Commitment Cost/VAR creation.
- If Revenue ROM columns are hidden, Main VAR values continue to respect the change event scope and will default to $0 for in-scope or TBD change events.
