Understanding Configured Item Sales Quotes

You enter a sales quote when the customer requires a formal price quote prior to actually placing an order. You enter a sales quote in the same way that you enter a sales order. However, specific JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator constants and processing option settings must be set up to support the configured item sales quote. You enter quote orders to:

• Provide information about price and availability of items.

• Record the quantity and price quotes for future reference.

• Hold the quote until the customer authorizes the order.

• Honor an obligation for a quoted price for a period of time.

When the customer confirms the order, you convert the quote order into an actual sales order.

Note: When a sales quote is entered, the cost for the transfer of a parent configured item or a component does not accumulate.
