Prepare and price a quote

Assemble the customer scope and price the current Draft revision for independent review.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the selling scope App Administrator

    App Administrator maintains the organization, eligible customer and team membership. Quote Specialist selects the intended customer and owner within that scope, then checks the proposal subject and validity date.

    • Eligible customer and owner establish the quote scope
    • Updates Organizations, Customers, Team members, Quotes
  2. Prepare the commercial lines Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist records the product codes, quantities, USD unit prices and line discounts. Each line belongs to the quote and carries its revision. Keep supporting site information attached to the same commercial record.

    • Draft lines and supporting evidence are prepared
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines, Record attachments
  3. Confirm the pricing basis Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist identifies the expected quote revision and price-book revision before requesting pricing. Resolve any changed or stale values before committing the calculation.

    • Expected revision and price-book identity are checked
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines
  4. Price the Draft Quote Specialist

    The pricing action validates scope, Draft state, revisions and line values. It calculates each line as quantity multiplied by unit price less the discount, then sums the lines into the quote's USD net amount.

    • Net line USD values and net amount USD are calculated
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines, Operation receipts
  5. Prepare the review handoff Quote Specialist

    Quote Specialist checks the priced lines and total and makes the current revision available to Pricing Reviewer. The reviewer receives the same scope and pricing basis used for the calculation.

    • Priced revision is ready for the independent decision
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines, Record attachments

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A customer belongs to another organization, so the pricing request cannot rely on the selected scope.
  • A specialist submits a stale quote or price-book revision after another authorized change.
  • A line discount is interpreted as a percentage even though the calculation subtracts the entered USD amount.
