Explanation
When individual freight agreement RFQs are generated from an RFQ master, the system creates one individual RFQ per carrier - not one per item. Carrier A is still an assigned carrier (just excluded from 3 of the 7 items), so it receives exactly 1 individual RFQ containing only the 4 items for which it remains eligible.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- B (4) confuses the number of items Carrier A is still assigned to with the number of RFQs generated - items are consolidated into a single document per carrier, not split out individually.
- C (3) mistakes the number of items Carrier A was removed from for the count of RFQs - removal from items doesn't produce separate RFQs.
- D (7) is the total item count on the master, which reflects scope, not the number of individual RFQ documents sent to any single carrier.
Memory tip: Think "one envelope per carrier." No matter how many items a carrier is eligible for, everything gets packaged into a single RFQ sent to them - the item count affects what's inside the envelope, not how many envelopes are sent.
