Business Process Overview
Based on a sales inquiry, you can create a corresponding quotation to provide your customer with the relevant information (referencing the inquiry is optional).
The use of quotations is not mandatory for the sales process.
Sometimes, the customer may not like the price offered in your quotation, and decides to purchase from another vendor. In this case, the presales documents remain open in your system. There are several options available to resolve the situation. For quotations, using a reason for rejection is a common way of setting the status of an item to complete.
When you use a reason for rejection (such as too expensive or delivery date too late), you also store valuable information in the system that can be used to analyze sales opportunities.
The figure, Sales Quotations, shows the concept of quotations.
