Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • The customer record identifies the parent company while the offer is for a purchasing subsidiary. Check the code and organization before continuing.
  • A line keeps an earlier revision after the quote changes. Inspect the complete line set before pricing.
  • A power value is entered without an agreed unit or supporting explanation. Resolve the requirement interpretation before asking for approval.
