Before you start

• Desktop Google Chrome. Verified in Chrome 152 on Linux; other browsers and operating systems are unverified.
• Extract the whole buyer ZIP and keep the app files together. Open app/index.html; no local server or setup is needed.
• A UTF-8 BOM and returned quote tables, using comma, tab or semicolon separators and unique headers. Manufacturer, exact MPN and quantity are required.
• One job currency: USD, EUR or GBP. You supply valid supplier terms and review dates. The app prepares drafts and does not place orders.

Your first result

1. Open the fictional Northlight job

   Open app/index.html and choose Try the Northlight example. It contains ten boards, three required parts and six returned quote rows. It starts without awards.

2. Choose the three offers

   In Review & award, award Alpha / DEMO-R-A and Alpha / DEMO-C-B, then Beta / DEMO-J-C. Confirm quote validity for each. For Alpha / DEMO-R-A, acknowledge the five excess pieces and record why you accept them.

3. Account for the remaining replies

   Record Alpha / DEMO-X as Excluded extra with the reason “Not in issued BOM”. Mark Beta / DEMO-R-A Unselected alternate, reason “Alpha selected”. Reject Beta / DEMO-C-BX because its MPN suffix differs. Record each row decision.

4. Inspect and save your result

   Expect Complete coverage, three awarded lines, zero unreviewed rows, 40 pieces needed, 45 purchased and USD 48.00. Open Export handoff, inspect the recipient draft and download its ZIP. Also choose Save project and confirm the JSON downloaded.

5. Map your own purchasing run

   Start a new job from Job & BOM, saving existing work first. Set the name, currency and review date. Read the BOM, map columns, choose per-board or already-extended quantities and explicit DNP exclusions, then preview and confirm.

6. Issue, review and return to the job

   Issue the RFQ and send it to suppliers yourself. Import one file per supplier with fixed charges and quote dates. Inspect source rows before awarding. Changed demand requires a new RFQ revision and fresh approvals. Reopen a saved project to continue; corrected imported quotes require a new job and reimport in this version.

A worked example

Northlight Button Kit — original fictional practice case

Input: Ten boards require 20 DEMO-R-A, 10 DEMO-C-B and 10 DEMO-J-C. Two suppliers return six offer rows.

1. Award Alpha L1/L2 and Beta L3, with the required validity and excess confirmations.
2. Exclude the extra, reject the changed MPN and mark the alternate unselected, recording a reason for each.
3. Download the draft and compare its two supplier totals with the expected-results sheet.

Expected result: Alpha parts 14.00 plus charges 5.00 = 19.00. Beta parts 25.00 plus charges 4.00 = 29.00. Combined USD 48.00; 40 needed, 45 purchased, 5 excess. Three awarded lines and all six quote rows accounted for. This is a reviewed selection, not a cheapest-price recommendation.
