Using the ‘Add New Quote Product’ you can easily add a new product, using a similar kind of Add Product form as seen in the Add Quote Section. It is possible that on customer’s request you are willing to delete a product from the quote, or duplicate it or edit the existing products from the quote. This can happen if you have a different business model or if you are unable to fulfill the product requirements.

For these actions, we have given quick action buttons such as – Duplicate, Edit and Delete.

Allow Partial Quote

This will allow the customer to place an order of partial items from the quote. This feature works only if the quotation has two or more products. For example, if a customer requests a quotation of 3 products but wishes to order only two at first, then this feature will give him the flexibility to do so. This will encourage a more flexible business model.

Enter the price and other details, and click on the Save. You can even upload a file for the customer’s approval along with the quote. The quote status will be updated in the customer’s My Account. Moreover, the customer will receive a notification if this option is enabled.

You can view or edit the customer notification email text from the Admin >> Content Management >> E-Mail Template >> Search with “Quote” >> Action dropdown >> Edit

As soon as you Save the estimated price, the status of the quote changes to Quotation as shown below:

All the changes and requests made by the Customer and Admin will be listed here.

Convert to Order

You can directly convert Quote-to-Order(Offline) with/without it being Approved by your end-customers.

Example: You receive a Quotation Request via email, and its finalized over email itself. You might want to maintain this quotation in OnPrintShop.

This feature will benefit the Super Admin, Sub-Admin, and the Branch Admin.

  • This option will only be available for the quotes with status as ‘Quotation’, ‘Quotation Approved’, ‘Quotation Partially completed’, and ‘Quotation Completed’.
  • Clicking on the Convert to order button will display a pop-up with all the quote products. The products whose order has not been placed at least once will be ticked by default.

  • The Continue button will redirect you to the ‘Payment and Shipping’ page of the Offline Order. Here, you can enter the shipping and payment details and confirm the order.
  • On the offline order screen, you can also navigate to the second step, where you can change product options, price weight, and production days.

If the quote is yet to be approved and you convert the quote into order, then the order quantity selected will be considered as Approved (if there are multiple quantities for a quote product).

Duplicate Quote

You can easily create a duplicate of the original quote using the ‘Duplicate Quote’ option. Check the message that appears while creating a duplicate of the quote.

Delete

Delete any quotation with a 2-step confirmation. Quotes with the status of ‘Quotation Approved’ cannot be deleted.

Note: It is recommended that you take only one action at a time when some response is pending from the customer so as to avoid any chances of overlapping actions. For example, if you have entered your quote amount on the customer's quote, you should not use 'Post Message to Customer' unless your quotation is approved or rejected by the customer. If you use 'Post Message to Customer' in this scenario, it makes your previous quotation void and you will have to enter the quotation again for the customer to approve or reject it.
