Sales quotes are just like sales orders. However, they don’t count against your inventory (i.e., they don’t deduct your available stock), so this is often a good way to make placeholder orders for your customers. You can create a sales quote directly, or you can convert an existing sales order into a quote!

To create a sales quote

1. Go to Main Menu > Sales > New Sales Quote.
2. Fill in the Customer info and any appropriate details.
3. Select/scan the items that you are quoting this customer.
4. Click the Save button when you are done.

Once you’re ready to create a sale from this quote, simply click the Convert to Order button at the top, and you’re done!

Converting a quote to an order will remove the original quote entirely. If you want to keep a copy of the quote, click the Copy  button at the top, then click Copy Sales Quote. Convert the copied quote into an order and your original quote will remain.
