Introduction

Most companies typically create a Quotation, converting it into a Sales Order upon agreement with a customer, which is then converted into an Invoice upon preparation of the goods and services requested.

This article covers how to create a quotation, which is a price estimate of a sale based on discussions with a customer. A Quotation is not a legally binding document, and typically expires within 30 days.
