How to Use
Create a Quote
- Click New Quote in the top-right corner
- Fill in the Title and select the Account (both required)
- Optionally link a Project and Contact — selecting an account auto-populates available options
- Set a Valid Until date and choose a Pricing Tier (Retail, Pro, Wholesale, or Custom)
- Add an intro message, payment terms, terms & conditions, and a closing message as needed
- Add Internal Notes visible to your team only — never shown to the client
- Click Save Quote
Add Line Items
In the right panel of the quote editor:
- Click Custom Item to add a freeform line item (Service, Product, Labor, or Expense)
- Click Product to pick from your product catalog — taxable status and pricing are carried over automatically
- Click Package to add a pre-built bundle — savings vs. individual items are shown
- For each item, set the name, quantity, unit price, and an optional per-item discount
- Use the Section field to group related items under a named heading
- Check Optional to mark items as add-ons — excluded from the total unless selected
Send a Quote
- Open a draft quote and click Send to Client, or click the Send button directly from the quote list
- The quote status changes to Sent
- When the client opens the quote link, it moves to Viewed
After Acceptance
Once a client accepts a quote (with optional digital signature):
- Click Convert to Contract to create a draft contract pre-filled with all quote details
- Click Convert to Invoice to create a draft invoice with all line items carried over
- If you use Workflows, a quote acceptance can trigger automated follow-up actions
Manage the List
- Use the Status filter to view quotes by stage
- Click Duplicate on any row to copy a quote as a new draft (valid date resets to 30 days)
- Select multiple quotes and click Delete Selected to remove them in bulk
Tips
- Quote numbers are generated automatically in the format
QTE-YEAR-NNNN - Expiry dates shown in red indicate the quote has passed its valid date
- Optional items let you present upsell options without inflating the quoted total
- Tax rates are pulled from your configured tax rate list and applied only to taxable items
- A quote can only be converted once — the system prevents duplicate contracts or invoices from the same quote
- The Revised status is applied when a sent quote is updated, keeping a clear history of changes
- Links from a Project or Account page automatically pre-fill those fields when creating a new quote
