Order vs Quote

Orders are to be selected once you are ready to start managing the documentation for your customer. Quotes can be used to supply documentation costs to your customer prior to them placing an order. Also, note the Quotes do not have dates, Orders have Order date and Approved drawing date fields.
Note the differences in field names when changing from Order to Quote:
  • Order - Sales Order, Package Number and PO Number vs
  • Quote - Quote Number and RFQ Number
You can change the button from Quote to Order and update with the sales order information when the quote coverts to an order. All documents previously attached to the quote will remain.
