Converting Quotes to Orders Using Asset-Based Ordering

After a customer agrees to the details of a quote, the employee end user follows the procedure below to convert a quote into an order.

NOTE:  The following procedure shows how to convert quotes to orders for an asset owned by an account. It is not applicable to contact-based ABO, where the user creates orders directly rather than creating quotes and converting them to orders.

2. In the Accounts list, click the name of the appropriate account.
3. Click the Account Summary view tab.

   The Quote form appears, displaying details of the quote.

5. Click the Orders view tab.
6. In the Orders list, click Sales Order.

   The quote is converted to an order and appears in the Orders list.
