Quotation Lifecycle
The diagram below illustrates the different stages a quotation goes through from creation to completion. Each stage defines a specific state and corresponding action within the project management process.
The stages of the quotation and their descriptions are as follows:
- Draft: The quotation is first created and saved in draft mode. You can freely edit and review it internally before presenting it to the customer.
- Presented: The quotation has been formally shared with the customer. At this stage, you are awaiting their feedback or decision.
- Approved by Customer: Once the customer accepts the quotation, its status changes to Approved by Customer. At this point, a Project is automatically created based on the quotation details, allowing you to continue with project execution.
- Rejected: If the customer declines the quotation, set the status to Rejected. This marks the quotation as inactive and prevents further progress on it.
- Completed: This status is used once the quotation has been fully executed. Before marking it as Completed, you must first create an Invoice and Expense. (These steps will be explained in the next section.)
Managing quotation statuses properly helps maintain a clear and traceable workflow. It ensures every quotation follows the same approval process and is linked correctly to its corresponding project, financial documents, and final reports.
Example: Approved by Customer
The image below shows an example of a quotation that has been Approved by Customer. At this stage, the quotation is confirmed and the system automatically creates a related Project based on the quotation details.
Generating and Printing Offers
Once your offer is fully prepared and reviewed, you can generate a document version for preview, download, or client delivery. To do this, use the Print menu located in the top toolbar of the offer page, as shown in the image below.
When you click the Print button, you’ll see three available options:
- Preview: Displays a quick on-screen preview of the generated offer document. This option is useful for checking formatting, item details, and pricing before finalizing.
- Generate PDF file: Creates a downloadable PDF version of the offer. You can save or send this file directly to the customer as part of your communication or proposal.
- Generate and attach PDF file: Generates a PDF document and automatically attaches it to the offer record in the system. This is ideal when you plan to send the offer for electronic signature (for example, through Evrotrust or another e-signature provider).
Using the Print menu options helps you manage your offers efficiently — whether you need a quick preview, a ready-to-send file, or a version attached for e-signature and record keeping.
Example: Offer Preview
The image below shows an example of the offer preview displayed after selecting the Preview option from the Print menu. This view allows you to review all details before generating or sending the final PDF.
Functions Menu
The Functions menu provides quick access to key actions and additional operations related to your offer. You can find it in the top toolbar of the offer page, next to the Print menu, as shown in the image below.
Each option in the Functions menu performs a specific task related to the offer lifecycle or project connection:
- Open Project: Opens the project automatically created from the offer once it has been Approved by Customer. This allows you to manage all project activities directly from the linked record.
- Create Invoice: Generates an invoice based on the offer’s approved items and amounts. This is typically done before marking the quotation as Completed.
- Create Expense: Allows you to record project-related costs or subcontracting expenses associated with the offer. This ensures that all financial data is accurately tracked.
- Recalculate Amounts: Updates totals and tax values automatically if any items, quantities, or discount details were changed after the offer was created.
- Duplicate: Creates a copy of the current offer with all its details. This is useful when you need to prepare a similar offer for another client or project.
Using the Functions menu simplifies the offer management process by allowing you to generate, update, or connect documents and projects without leaving the current page.
