Quotations

A quotation is the commercial mirror of an order: same stops and cargo, revenue lines only, no shipments. Operational execution only starts after conversion to order.

Steps

  1. New → fill in customer, valid-until and reference.
  2. Add stops (pickup/delivery) and link cargo to the correct pickup — see Stops and cargo.
  3. Add revenue lines (customer rates, surcharges). Cost lines do not belong here.
  4. Status sent → generate and email the Customer Quote document.
  5. On customer approval: Convert to order.

Statuses

Conversion to order

  • Precondition: status accepted.
  • Copied: stops, cargo, revenue lines.
  • Not copied: shipments (they live on orders only).
  • Idempotent: a repeated conversion opens the existing order — no duplicates.
  • The quotation gets a reference to the new order; the order references back.

Documents

From a quotation you generate the Customer Quote document. It shows revenue lines only — cost data is never visible to the customer. See Documents for general behavior.
