Quotes
Create and send professional quotes to clients, track their status, and convert accepted quotes into contracts or invoices.
Key Features
- Quote List: View all quotes with quote number, title, account, status, total, item count, valid date, and creation time
- Status Tracking: Follow each quote through its lifecycle — Draft, Sent, Viewed, Accepted, Declined, Expired, or Revised
- Line Items: Build quotes from custom items, catalog products, or pre-built packages
- Sections: Group line items under named headings to organize complex quotes clearly
- Pricing Controls: Apply per-item discounts, a quote-level discount (fixed or percentage), and a tax rate
- Taxable Items: Tax applies only to items marked taxable — set automatically when adding from your catalog; tax is proportionally adjusted when a discount is applied
- Optional Items: Mark add-ons as optional so clients can choose them without inflating the base total
- Client Acceptance Wizard: Clients select optional items, confirm event details, preview the contract, and sign digitally — all in one guided flow
- Auto-Contract Generation: If a contract template is assigned, the signed contract is created automatically on acceptance
- One-Click Conversion: Turn an accepted quote into a contract or invoice directly from the editor
- Duplicate: Copy any existing quote as a new draft to speed up repeat work
- Filter & Search: Filter by status or search by quote number or title
- Automation Triggers: Accepted quotes can trigger automated workflows
How to Use
Create a Quote
- Click New Quote in the top-right corner
- Enter a Title and select the Account (both required) — for example, "Spring Campaign" for ACME Creative Agency
- Optionally link a Project and Contact — the dropdowns auto-populate once you pick an account
- Set a Valid Until date and choose a Pricing Tier (Retail, Pro, Wholesale, or Custom)
- Add intro message, payment terms, terms & conditions, and a closing message as needed
- Add Internal Notes for your team — these are never shown to the client
- Click Save Quote
Add Line Items
In the right panel of the quote editor:
- Click Custom Item to add a freeform line item (Service, Product, Labor, or Expense)
- Click Product to pick from your catalog — taxable status and pricing carry over automatically; products are grouped by type (Services, Products, Rentals, Labor) for easy browsing
- Click Package to add a pre-built bundle — the savings vs. individual items are shown right in the picker
- For each item, set the name, quantity, unit price, and an optional per-item discount
- Use the Section field to group related items under a named heading
- Check Optional to mark items as add-ons — excluded from the total unless the client selects them
Send a Quote
- Open a draft quote and click Send to Client, or use the Send action directly from the quote list
- The status changes to Sent; when the client opens their link, it moves to Viewed
Client Acceptance
When a client clicks Accept, they go through a guided wizard:
- Select which optional items they want included
- Confirm event details (venue, dates, on-site contacts) if applicable
- Preview the contract with their information merged in
- Enter their name, email, and draw their digital signature
If a contract template is assigned to the quote, the signed contract is generated automatically on acceptance.
After Acceptance
- Click Convert to Contract to create a draft contract from the quote
- Click Convert to Invoice to create a draft invoice with all line items carried over
- If you use Workflows, quote acceptance can trigger automated follow-up actions
Manage the List
- Use the Status filter to view quotes by stage
- Click Duplicate on any row to copy a quote as a new draft (valid date resets to 30 days)
- Select multiple quotes and click Delete Selected to remove them in bulk
Tips
- Quote numbers are auto-generated in the format
QTE-YEAR-NNNN - Valid dates shown in red indicate the quote has passed its expiry
- Optional items let you present upsell choices without inflating the base total
- Tax is calculated only on taxable items and proportionally adjusted when a discount is applied
- A quote can only be converted once — the system prevents duplicate contracts or invoices from the same quote
- Opening Quotes from a Project or Account page pre-fills those fields automatically
