Create Multiple Quotes



The framework for Ian’s sales team is almost complete. There are just few more things to set up. For the sales reps, prepare a couple of quotes for customers and sync one of them to an opportunity. These quotes show the customers the prices of the ground-mounted solar panel products and the solar panel cleaning service that Ian and his team are selling for Ursa Major Solar. Before you set these up, go into the system and enable quotes.

Enable Quotes

1. From Setup, enter Quotes in Quick Find, and then select Quotes Settings.
   
2. Click Enable, then click Save.
   
3. On the Page Layout Selection, select Opportunity Layout.
   
4. Check Append to users’ personal related list customization.
   
5. Click Save.
   
   

Create a Quote and Sync It to an Opportunity

Now create a quote and sync it to the Saito - Ground-mounted Panels opportunity.

1. Click to open the App Launcher and select Opportunities.
   
2. From Select List View, select All Opportunities.
   
3. Under Opportunity Name, click Saito - Ground-mounted Panels.
   
4. In the Quotes section (at the bottom of the page), click Quotes.
   
5. Click New Quote and enter the details.

1. While still in Quotes, under Quote Name, click 80 Cell Ground-mounted Panels.
   
2. In the Quote header, click to open the actions menu and select Start Sync.
   
3. On the Sync Quote pop-up, click Continue . Now the quote and the opportunity are synced so updates to one record are always reflected in the other.

3. For the GreenSun Ground product, change these fields:

4. Click Save .
   
5. In the quote header section, view the Grand Total field. The price reflects the increase in quantity as well as the 10% discount.
   
6. In the Quote header, click to open the actions menu, and then click Create PDF.
   
   
7. Click Save to Quote.
   
8. Under the Notes & Attachments section, click 60 Cell Ground-mounted Panels to view the PDF.
