How do I create a purchase quote?

Purchase quotes can be used to track quotes that you’ve sent out or received from potential vendors when bidding for your purchase orders. You can create a purchase quote directly, or you can convert an existing purchase order into a quote!

Windows

To create a purchase quote directly:

  1. Go to Main Menu > Purchasing > Purchase Quote.
  2. Fill in the Vendor info and any appropriate details.
  3. Select/scan the items that you want a quote on.
  4. Click the Save button when you are done.

Once you’re ready to purchase from this vendor, simply click the Convert to Order button at the bottom 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 Purchase Quote. Convert the copied quote into an order and your original quote will remain.
