No. BAFO is optional and typically used for higher-value purchases. Your organization can configure thresholds that suggest or require BAFO rounds.

You can also set up [Automatically Triggered Negotiations](https://www.procureflow.ai/docs/core-features/auto-negotiations.md) to have the system open BAFO rounds automatically when certain criteria are met.
