Quote Summary Page

When first creating a new quote the following screen will be displayed:

Single or Multiple Opportunity Association

If this is an Opportunity Quote, there is an option to create a new opportunity or relate the quote to an existing opportunity in SalesLink.

  • If this is a new opportunity, it will assign an opportunity number in SalesLink with the product details and estimated revenue for the customer.
  • If this is related to an existing opportunity, select the customer and the rep and the system will provide the open opportunities that can be assigned to the quote.
  • Click [Add] to associate with a single product opportunity. Click [Select] to replace a product. If replacing a Primary product, the information in the quote will be used to calculate the estimated revenue for the opportunity and replace the product information.

See the SalesLink User Guide for more information on opportunities.
