You want to inform purchasers automatically when an RFQ is close to the quotation deadline...

To notify purchasers automatically when an RFQ is close to the quotation deadline but only a few quotations have been received, theSituation Handling Frameworkin SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is the most efficient solution. Below is an explanation of the correct answer:

By using the situation template in situation handling standard framework (A):The Situation Handling Framework allows you to configure predefined templates to monitor specific conditions, such as low response rates to RFQs. When the condition is met, the system automatically notifies relevant users.

By defining a workflow using flexible workflows (B):While flexible workflows can be configured for notifications, they require more setup and are less suited for real-time monitoring compared to the Situation Handling Framework.

By developing an application using APIs to send notifications (C):Developing a custom application is time-consuming and unnecessary when standard tools like the Situation Handling Framework are available.

By creating new RFQs and sending with email (D):Manually creating new RFQs and sending emails is inefficient and does not address the need for automated notifications.
