OK. But usually the PO process starts with a Request for quotation. so I feel 
this step is somewhat unecessary.

Sure, *I* have an idea, but wont tell my supplier about it. Never seen a Biz 
so far that asks for a quote with price included.
What is the best way to get rid of the price columns? In the odt Document?

Academically right, but not a real life scenario. People make mistakes (Oh 
Shit, I forgot to change the price on line 20),and forcing them to reenter the 
whole story again would definitely not increase the confidentiality into the 
ERP system, nor is it efficient.

See above. IHMO this is a design flaw.
