useBidPriceRequestAnswer

Requires permission biddesk:cost_sheet:edit.

Uses a vendor's answer as its cost line's vendor quote: the line takes the answer's unit price and currency (at the recorded exchange rate when it differs from the sheet's), source VENDOR_QUOTE and the answer as evidence; then the price request closes on that vendor. Refused with PRICE_ANSWER_NOT_ANSWERED, PRICE_ANSWER_EXPIRED, PRICE_ANSWER_REQUEST_NOT_OPEN, PRICE_ANSWER_LINE_MISMATCH, PRICE_ANSWER_UNIT_MISMATCH, NO_RATE, COST_SHEET_LOCKED or VERSION_CONFLICT. Requires Bid Desk, permission to edit cost sheets and permission to view costs.
