Sellers can quote on multiple RFQs at once by uploading a CSV from the Respond to RFQs page. Each row is one quote on one RFQ. The same file format is used to create new quotes and to counter quotes you already have in negotiation.
How it works
Go to Respond to RFQs.
Click Download CSV to get a file of every RFQ you're eligible to quote on. The file includes the RFQ details (MPN, manufacturer, target price, expiration, etc.) with blank "Your Offer" columns ready to fill in. If you'd rather start from a blank template, open the Upload Quotes CSV dialog and click Download a Sample CSV.
Fill in the "Your Offer" columns for the RFQs you want to quote on. Leave the rows you don't want to quote on with blank offer columns — those rows will be skipped.
Click Upload Quotes CSV, then Choose File, and pick your CSV.
You'll see a confirmation when the file is accepted. If anything is wrong with a row, the upload is rejected with an error that names the line number and the problem.
Required columns
Every row that contains a quote must have these five columns filled in:
RFQ Number — The Mobius RFQ number (e.g., RFQ-123456). Use the number exactly as it appears in the CSV you downloaded.
Your Offer Unit Price (USD) — Your per-unit price in US dollars. Decimals are fine (e.g., 1.2345). Don't include the $ symbol.
Your Offer Quantity — Number of units you can supply. Whole numbers only.
Your Offer Lead Time (Days) — How many days until you can ship, as a whole number (e.g., 14).
Your Offer Location Country — Where the parts are located, as an ISO two-letter country code (e.g., US, CN, HK, DE).
Optional columns
Your Offer Date Code — The manufacturing date code for the stock you're offering (e.g., 2024+).
Your Offer Country of Origin — Country of origin for the parts, as an ISO two-letter country code.
Leave optional cells blank if you don't have the information.
Reference columns
The downloaded RFQ file also includes columns that describe the RFQ — MPN, Manufacturer, Description, Category, Quantity, Target Unit Price (USD), Status, Expiration Date, Your Existing Quote (USD), and Platform Link. These are there to help you decide what to quote. They're ignored on upload, so you can leave them as-is.
Updating an existing quote
If you already have a Live or In Discussion quote on an RFQ and you upload a new offer for it, the upload counters your existing quote rather than creating a new one. Counters must be lower than your previous unit price — uploading a higher counter is rejected.
To check what you've already quoted, look at the Your Existing Quote (USD) column in the downloaded RFQ file, or open My Quotes for the full picture.
Skipping rows
A row with an RFQ Number but no offer columns filled in is skipped. This is the normal way to ignore RFQs you don't want to quote on — just leave the offer cells blank.
A row with offer values but no RFQ Number is rejected. Every quote must be tied to an RFQ.
Formatting tips
Keep the column headers exactly as they appear in the downloaded file. Headers are matched case-insensitively, but the wording must match.
One quote per row.
Use plain numbers for quantity and lead time, and a decimal value for unit price.
Country codes are the ISO two-letter format (United States is US, China is CN, Hong Kong is HK). See the full list of country codes.
Don't add comments, merged cells, or extra tabs to the file.
Common errors
If the upload fails, you'll see a message that names the line and the issue. The most common ones:
Missing RFQ Number — A row has offer values but no RFQ number. Start from a fresh download of RFQs to get the numbers.
RFQ number ... not found — The RFQ number doesn't exist, is closed, or isn't open to quotes. Re-download the RFQ file to get the current list.
RFQ number ... belongs to your org — You can't quote on your own org's RFQs.
Missing unit price / quantity / lead time / location country — One of the four required offer fields is blank.
Offer unit price must be lower than your previous offer — You're countering an existing quote and your new price is higher than (or equal to) your previous one.
COO and Location country must use a country code — A country field has something other than a two-letter ISO code (e.g., United States instead of US).
If you hit an error you can't resolve, send the file to [email protected] and we'll take a look.
