Accept the quote and hand off equipment

Record acceptance of the valid approved revision and track its order connection outcome.

Step by step

  1. Check the approved offer Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist identifies the revision the customer is accepting and checks the validity date. Review the saved decision and equipment lines before requesting acceptance.

    • Confirm approved revision and validity
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines, Review decisions
  2. Record acceptance Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist uses the guarded action to record the customer's response. Approved moves to Accepted and the acceptance time is retained. An expired or stale request must be refused.

    • Move Approved to Accepted with acceptance time
    • Updates Quotes, Operation receipts
  3. Request the handoff Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist sends the accepted revision and its immutable equipment lines through the configured order connection. The repeatable operation key identifies the same quote and revision on every retry.

    • Request downstream work for accepted scope
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines, Operation receipts
  4. Confirm the result Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist inspects the receipt and destination response. Without a connection the receipt remains Pending. Completion needs a real external reference and evidence of the persisted effect.

    • Retain Pending or confirmed Completed outcome
    • Updates Operation receipts
  5. Inspect exceptions Auditor

    Auditor examines unresolved receipts and their failure reasons. Route uncertain outcomes into reconciliation before anyone claims that the receiving system has created the order.

    • Examine unresolved evidence
    • Updates Operation receipts, Quotes

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Late responses. A customer's acceptance after validity has ended requires commercial follow-up; it must not bypass the expiry check.
  • Uncertain destination outcome. A sent request is insufficient evidence of an order. Inspect the receipt and receiving system response before retrying.
  • Repeated handoffs. Use the same operation identity for the same accepted revision so retry handling can preserve a single outcome.
