Its lines hold the product code, quantity, unit price, discount, unit cost and net line value. Aerospace requirements, review decisions, attachments and operation receipts sit against the same quote.

Pricing runs on a Draft quote. Each line’s net value is quantity times unit price minus discount, and the quote’s net amount is the sum of its lines. If any line or check fails, nothing is written and the reason is recorded on a Failed receipt.
