Accept Quote

When you accept a quote it will change from a quotation to a sales order. The way you work with it will not change and you can still return and edit the order after acceptance. Once a quote is a sales order you will have access to delivery notes and invoices that were previously disabled for a quote.

 

To accept a quote:

 

Save a quote and click Accept on the main toolbar.

Right-click a quote reference number and select Accept Quote.

 

Own Reference: Input your own reference if desired. This will be in addition to the standard EQ reference.
