Creating a quick quote for a catalog product

You can obtain pricing information, record a new price, and create a Quote Order (QU) for a catalog product in Sales Customer Pricing Inquiry.

Depending on your operator security and the catalog record, you can also convert the catalog product into an inventory product before you add it to the quote. To covert a catalog product, it must eligible for conversion, and it must be set up with a valid product line. If you convert a catalog product, records are created in these functions, based on values from the catalog record:

  • Product Setup
  • Product Warehouse Product Setup
Note: To create a quote order that contains a restricted product and requires a restriction override, use Sales Order Entry. If you use Sales Customer Pricing Inquiry, the quote is created but the restricted product is not included, and the price record is not applied. You must then maintain the quote in Sales Order Entry, overriding the product restriction and adjusting the price in the Pricing view.
