Hello Anoop,
Good catch
This point must be challenged and this rule probably modified.
This rule was defined to prevent external system from a buyer to retrieve quote in state 'internal' of the quote seller side. It is the case for example of the pending state but it brings some inconsistency because the quote could retrievable/not retrievable.
One option could be: to keep this state (but without the Pending value) and allow GET on all states.
I suggest to open a change request (Jira) for this point to update accordingly the specification.
Best regards
Ludovic
