The task

A line item the sales team can review.

Nominal size alone does not describe a fitting. Connection standard, material and product-specific ratings need to remain visible, especially when a buyer is matching an existing installation.

Example RFQ structure

Product
Pipe, valve or fitting reference
Connections
Size, standard and end configuration
Specification
Approved material, schedule or rating where relevant
Quantity
Units, required date and delivery location

Designed around the next step.

01

Use fields that fit the product family

Pipe may need schedule and length; a valve may need type, end connection and actuation. Avoid applying the same mandatory fields to every item.

02

Make connection distinctions visible

Keep the approved connection standard alongside size. Do not suggest that similarly named or sized connections are interchangeable.

03

Preserve each requested line

Carry the product reference, quantity and unit into the quote request. A multi-item inquiry should still be readable by the sales team.

Try the intake pattern

Pipe, valve or fitting request

Try it with sample details to see what your sales team receives. Nothing is sent.

Use “unknown” wherever the technical team needs to help.

What’s included.

  • A catalog structure for agreed pipe, valve and fitting families.
  • Family-specific attribute mapping and specification references.
  • A quote brief that retains line-item and delivery details.
  • Checks for missing units, inconsistent identifiers and update ownership.

Before we begin.

Begin with approved records

Supply current product sheets and the fields your sales team actually uses. Resolve contradictory specifications before importing.

Keep engineering approval separate

The website presents approved data and collects requests. Pressure, temperature, media compatibility and substitution decisions remain with the responsible team.
