    How to do it...
  2. On the Update Quote — Edit Sales Order program, click on Add.
  3. Enter Sold To and the Order Date in order header.

  6. Enter the Item Number.
  7. Enter the Unit price.

How it works...

The Quote Orders can be entered to provide the prices and availability to their customers of a bulk amount of items and quantity and documented the quoted quantity and price for future reference. When you enter the Quote Order, the system does not commit any quantity from the item inventory based on the setup of the Processing Option of P4210 program. When the customer sends the Purchase Order, you then convert the Quote Order into a Sales Order by releasing the Quote Order from the Quote Order Released program. The Quote Order can be printed by creating a separate version of the Print Invoices program (R42565) to print the Qu ote Order. The messages can also be printed by setting up the Processing Option of the Print Invoice program. After entering the Quote Order, the automated proposal document can also be generated, which includes data of Quote Orders. The proposal can be configured to include the information related to a specific customer.

Note

Customers self-service can be activated through the Processing Options of Sales Order Entry (P4210 and P42101), Customer Ledger Inquiry (P03B2002), and Item Availability (P41202) applications.

There's more...

Quote Orders can be configured to reduce or not reduce the quantity through Document Type Maintenance program (P40040).
