What is a Quotation?

A Quotation (also called Estimate or Proforma Invoice) is a formal document provided to potential customers indicating the proposed prices for goods or services. It's not a legally binding document but represents a business proposal that can be converted to a sales order upon customer acceptance.

Lead/Opportunity → Quotation → Sales Order → Delivery Note → Invoice

Step 2: Select Customer/Lead

Choose existing customer or create a new lead for potential customers.

  • For existing customers: Select from dropdown and details auto-populate
