How to setup the Quoting tool

This article will go through how to set up the quote. This includes the general set up for deposits & discounts, how to create templates, setting up tax correctly based off your region, and creating a payment schedule & organising the quote groupings

 

  • To access the Admin section Click on your name on the top right of the screen.
  • Select Admin from the options.  

 

 

 

 

General

  • Click Quote.
  • Select General.

 

If quote groups are allocated to your item catalogue you can select the percentage for these groups instead of Grand total. This Deposit is used when not using the Payment Schedule.

  • Select  % or $.
  • Enter the respective value.
  • Select from the Quote Groups if necessary.

 

The best setup for discount is %. Allocating 100% allows a price to be doubled or reduced to 0. Setting a dollar value has the potential to go into negatives on the quote.

  • Select  % or $.
  • Enter the respective value.

 

Ideally its best to set up all possible items in the item catalogue. Notes can always be added and the prices can be edited. If you are creating items during quote formation make sure these are added to the item catalogue as well as the quote.

 

  • Select if you would like Admin or Users to create custom items.

  • Click Add to Catalogue.
