Validating Quotes
This chapter covers the following topics:
Overview of Quote Validation
The quote validation framework provides an infrastructure to include business rule validations. This framework uses the Oracle E-Business Suite workflow technology to automate and streamline quote validations. You can set up the routing of notification requests for quote validations at the quote header and line levels. The results of the quote validations are displayed in the quote lines. Thus, you can track the validation status for each quote line.
