  • Customers can approve quotes themselves, creating a sales order in your system automatically.

  • You can easily filter on quotes set to expire in order to chase up customers.

  • You can report on quotes lost or won to analyze your business processes

  1. From the left navigation, click Sales, then Quotes.

  1. Click New Quote.

  1. Search your CRM for the Company or First Name in the contact fields at the top of the screen.If the customer does not already exist in your CRM, filling out the contact details in the quote will create a new customer upon approval.

  1. Choose the correct Branch from the dropdown, if appropriate.

  2. Enter products, quantities and prices into the grid at the bottom half of the screen.

  3. Enter an Expected Order date - the date which you expect the quote to be converted to Sale.

  4. Estimate the Probability of Winning by selecting from the dropdown.

  5. Click Approve and Email to finalize the quote.

  6. You can then email the customer a PDF of the quote. This PDF will not update if you change your quote in future. If you make any changes to your quote, you will need to resend them a new PDF of the quote.

Quotes do not affect the inventory levels of your products. Only upon copying the Quote to a Sales Order will Stock Available be affected.
