  6. In the Customer Order field, enter the customer's order reference/name. (Depending on your setup, this may be compulsory.) If the quote is for a purchase order, this will usually be their purchase order number to you. If they do not have an order number at this quoting stage, you can use this field to enter the customer's name.
  7. In the Lines tab, enter products as follows:
    1. Click on button New.

    4. Press Tab again to move through the fields on the line, and make any necessary changes to pricing and discount information.

    7. Repeat this process for all the products you wish to add to the order. 
  8. Once you have entered at least one product, you can use the following functions on the ribbon at the top of the screen to modify the cost and margin values for the quote:
    • Quote View shows the quote in Quote View.
    • Set GP Percent sets a specific gross profit or margin percentage for the whole of the quote.
    • Set Total Value sets the total value of the quote.
  9. When you have finished, you can click Show in Report to print or email the quote to the customer. This allows you to see and review the quote before you send it. Alternatively, you can use the Send Email (Background), Send Email (Prompt), orSend Print to perform the same functions but without previewing the quote to screen (this is the faster option).
