Creating a Quotation

Written by Vanessa Yong

Introduction

Quotation – for sending price offers to customers before confirming a sale.
A Quotation is a document issued to a customer outlining the products or services on offer along with proposed prices, before the sale is confirmed. It gives the customer a clear estimate of costs upfront, and once approved, it can be converted directly into a Sales Order or Invoice.

Let's get you started on creating a Quotation to send to your customer — just head to Sales > Quotations > +New.
