Field notes
The explainer follows a sample RFQ through normalization, yard matching, split quotes, and award, then shows inventory deductions for shortfalls, holds, laser work, staging, reservations, and back orders. The proposed MetalTrax connection is described as read-only on exports, with transaction worksheets returned through MetalTrax’s own workflow; the page labels its sample companies and prices fictional.
