The GM-X Request subsystem handles requirements, requests for quotation (RFQs), requests for proposal (RFPs)  and quotes for order-to-bill and procure-to-order processes.

Because the GM-X Party subsystem captures collaborative trading relationships, GM-X can be utilized by both customers and suppliers because the procurement and sales processes embrace both organizations. Traditional ERP systems were never designed to meet this requirement, but GM-X handles collaborative supply chain trading execution with ease.
