Creating free text items in the request (step 3)

Here you can enter all information about the free text item:

• Enter the short description, the quantity, the base unit and the price quantity (mandatory fields)

• If necessary, you can enter a long description. Type in the text in the "Long text" editor field.

• Add attachments to your item that are specifically related to it.

The unit price and the total price resulting from the quantity and the price quantity is a calculation price for your evaluation in the price comparison list. It is not displayed to the suppliers when they prepare their quotation.

Select the option "Create another item" in the lower area of the dialog window, if you plan to create further free text items. After saving (button “Create”), a new dialog window automatically opens for creating another free text item.

If you have finished creating free text items, click on the button "Create". This will take you back to the overview of the item list and you will see your completed free text items.

Download an import template and import of several free text items

To create free text items, you also have the possibility of creating them using an import template. You can do your calculation in it and import the final result into FUTURA Smart.

The import file contains additional information as a note on the column options, as well as an example of how the item list should be structured. Fill it out with the mandatory criteria...

… and then import them into your request using the Import Item List button and function.

After the import, you can delete or edit individual items from the item list in the right area of the list. To do this, click on the garbage can button or on the pencil button.
