Hi Surya

RFx (x could be I=Information, P=Proposal, Q=Quotation)

RFI: Used when you have a questionaire based evaluation of a sourcing process

RFP: Used when you have a detailed sourcing cycle to be operformed, which could include Questionniare based evaluation, technical evaluation and also asing suppliers to quote for some line items etc

RFQ: This is widely used only to ask supplier to provide a commercial quote for all the line items enclosed on the RFQ document

based on your business need you can use any of these

Cheers

Tridip
