[ebxml-dev] Quote Negotiation

[Darren Fehrmann <darren@mha.ca>]

If a supplier, in response to a RFQ, sends a quote to a purchaser, how does the purchaser negotiate the quote with the supplier using EBXML?

For example:
1. Purchaser A sends a RFQ to Supplier B for 10 widgets to be delivered before the 15th of the month.
2. Supplier B sends Purchaser A a quote for 10 widgets at $4 apiece with delivery on the 15th.
3. Purchaser A would like to send a response to Supplier A indicating a willingness to make the purchase if the price can be dropped to $3.50 apiece.  The delivery date and/or quantity could be adjusted as well. How would this be performed using EBXML?
