Creating a Quote for a New Network

After adding records for all the locations of network nodes, the salesperson can create a quote for the new network. Later, the salesperson attaches all the components of the new network to this quote.

For more information about creating a quote, see Siebel Order Management Guide.

This task is a step in Process of Ordering New Networks.

To create a quote for a new network

1. Navigate to the Accounts screen, then the Accounts List view.
2. In the Accounts list, click the name of the appropriate account.

   The Customer Portal view appears.

3. In the Installed Assets list, click New.

   If the account type is not Residential, then the Line Item view of the Quotes screen appears.

4. In the Quote Header form, click the More button.
5. In the Network field, enter a name for the new network.

   By default, the value of this field is the quote number. Enter a descriptive name to overwrite the number. The Siebel application uses this name as a key to link together components of the network and as the default for the Network field for all line items in the quote.

6. In the Line Items list, add a new record and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Product	Select a product with a Network Element Type of Network. For example, select a Frame Relay.
