# Quickstart

> From signup to your first issued RFQ in a few minutes

This guide takes you from creating an account to sending your first RFQ to a supplier.

## 1. Create your account

Go to the signup page and choose one of two paths:

### Email signup

1. Enter your **First name**, **Last name**, and **Work email**.
2. Set a **Password** (a live checklist shows the password requirements as you type) and confirm it.
3. Enter your **Organization name** — this appears on your RFQs, purchase orders, and supplier emails.
4. Complete the security check and click **Start free**.
5. Check your inbox and click the confirmation link. The link signs you in and provisions your organization automatically.

### Google signup

1. Click **Continue with Google** and pick your Google account.
2. Since Google doesn't know your company, Seloria asks one extra question: give your workspace an **Organization name** and click **Continue**.

Either way, your organization is created with you as its **Admin**, and a set of default catalogs (currencies, units, statuses, and more) is seeded so you can work immediately.

## 2. Complete the setup wizard (or skip it)

After signup you land on the **Welcome to Seloria** screen. The wizard walks you through six short steps — organization details, team and approvals, budgets, notifications, SLAs, and team invitations. It takes about three minutes.

In a hurry? Click **Skip setup** to accept sensible defaults and go straight to the app. You can also skip individual steps with **Skip for now**. Everything the wizard configures can be changed later in **Settings**. See [the onboarding wizard](/getting-started/onboarding-wizard) for the full walkthrough.

When you click **Finish** (or skip), you land on your dashboard.

## 3. Create your first RFQ

1. In the sidebar, open **Sourcing** and click **New Request**.
2. On the **Start a new request** screen, pick the process type. For a price request, choose **RFQ**. Seloria creates a draft immediately and opens the editor.
3. Fill in the RFQ details: title, dates, project, and other header fields.
4. In the **Line items** section, add the items you want quoted — description, quantity, and unit. You can also import items or pick a cost category per row.
5. In the **Suppliers** section, search and select the suppliers to invite. You need at least one supplier before issuing.

<Tip>
  No suppliers yet? Add one first under **Suppliers → Add Supplier**, or bulk-import your supplier list from a CSV/XLSX file under **Suppliers → All Suppliers**.
</Tip>

## 4. Issue the RFQ

You have two options:

* **Save as draft** — keep working on it and issue later from the RFQ detail page.
* **Publish RFQ** — a confirmation dialog asks you to confirm; on **Confirm and Publish**, Seloria saves the RFQ and emails an invitation to every selected supplier.

Each invited supplier receives an email with a secure link to the supplier portal, where they submit their quote — they don't need a Seloria account. Suppliers can also ask clarification questions through the portal; you'll see and answer them on the RFQ.

## 5. What happens next

As quotes arrive you'll get notified (based on your notification preferences). From the RFQ detail page you can compare quotes side by side, award a supplier, and convert the award into a purchase order. If the award amount exceeds your approval threshold, it routes for approval first — approvers can act straight from the email.

## Next steps

* Walk through the [onboarding wizard](/getting-started/onboarding-wizard) settings in detail.
* Finish configuring your organization in [Initial setup](/getting-started/initial-setup) — currencies, numbering, templates, and catalogs.
* Invite your team under **Settings → Organization → Users & Roles**.
