Quotation

The document number that identifies the sales quotation.

Sold-to Business Partner

Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project.

The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following:

  • Default price and discount agreements
  • Sales order defaults
  • Delivery terms
  • The related ship-to and invoice-to business partner

You cannot change this field if you entered quotation lines for this sales quotation.

Internal Sales Representative

Your (inside) sales representative who is responsible for submitting a quotation for goods to the business partner. If you convert the quotation to a sales order, you can sort sales statistics data by sales representative.

Quotation Date

The sales quotation's creation date.

Expiry Date

The final day on which the quotation is valid.

The default expiration date for the quotation is automatically calculated by adding the number of days specified in the Effectivity Period field in the Sales Quotation Parameters (tdsls0100s100) session to the quotation date.

Status

The status of the sales quotation.

Allowed values

Quotation Status

Workflow Status

The status that is applicable if the business object requires authorization approval using ION Workflow.

When you perform a change that requires authorization, a checked-out version is automatically created for the business object. The changes you submit are only effective after approval/check-in. You can also undo your changes, or recall your submitted changes.

  • Checked-out and checked-in objects are displayed in the Checked-out Objects (ttocm9599m000) session.
  • From the appropriate menu of this session, select Workflow and execute the required action for the business object.

Allowed values

If the business object is checked out, this field displays an Object status.

If the business object is checked in, this field displays an Approval status.

If a description is specified for the object type in the Workflow Information Fields (ttocm0106m000) session (which is displayed as a tab in the Object Types (ttocm0102m000) session), regardless if the object is checked in or out, this field always displays the value of the appropriate Description field.

Note

For more information on setting up and using ION Workflow for business objects in LN, refer to the Infor LN Integration Guide for Infor ION Workflows and Monitors at Infor Xtreme.

If no sales office is found in the Sold-to Business Partner (tccom4110s000) session, LN searches the Sales User Profiles (tdsls0139m000) session. If no sales office is found in the Sales User Profiles (tdsls0139m000) session either, no sales office is defined. As a result, LN cannot retrieve a default sales office.

If the financial company of the administrative department has a tax number in the tax country of the order, the financial department is the same department as the administrative department.

The financial department enables you to process financial transactions for a quotation in another financial company than the financial company of the sales office.

  • This field is only visible if the Use Tax Numbers of other Financial Companies check box is selected in the Tax Parameters (tctax0100m000) session.
