Quotation templates
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Using quotation templates speeds up the creation of sales orders by filling in most quotation fields
|
||||
automatically.
|
||||
In Odoo *Sales*, salespeople have the ability to create reusable quotation templates for common
|
||||
product or service offerings that the business offers. By using these templates, quotations can be
|
||||
tailored and sent to customers at a much faster pace, without having to create new quotations from
|
||||
scratch every time a sales negotiation occurs.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _sales/send_quotations/templates:
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings` and enable :guilabel:`Quotation
|
||||
Templates`.
|
||||
Begin by activating the setting in :menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration --> Settings`, and
|
||||
scroll to the :guilabel:`Quotations & Orders` heading.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a template
|
||||
=================
|
||||
In that section, check the box beside the :guilabel:`Quotation Templates` option. Doing so reveals
|
||||
a new :guilabel:`Default Template` field, in which a default quotation template can be chosen from a
|
||||
drop-down menu.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Quotations Templates` and click :guilabel:`New`.

|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Apart from the name, all template fields are optional.
|
||||
|
||||
After having named the template, choose default values for the following fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Quotation expires after`: choose the number of days for which the quotation is valid.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Online confirmation`: after sending the quotation by email, it is possible to ask the
|
||||
customer to confirm it online on their customer portal:
|
||||
|
||||
- by providing a :guilabel:`Signature`,
|
||||
- by making a :guilabel:`Payment`,
|
||||
- or both.
|
||||
|
||||
- :guilabel:`Confirmation Mail`: select an email template to automatically send an email to the
|
||||
customer upon confirming the quotation.
|
||||
|
||||
On the :guilabel:`Lines` tab, add the default products and their quantity. Add :doc:`optional
|
||||
products <optional_products>` in the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, add any specific sales terms and conditions on the :guilabel:`Terms & Conditions` tab.
|
||||
Also, upon activating the :guilabel:`Quotation Template` feature, an internal :guilabel:`➡️
|
||||
Quotation Templates` link appears beneath the :guilabel:`Default Template` field. Clicking that link
|
||||
reveals the :guilabel:`Quotation Templates` page, from which templates can be created, viewed, and
|
||||
edited.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
If the terms and conditions are standard across all quotations, :doc:`set them globally in the
|
||||
Accounting/Invoicing settings
|
||||
</applications/finance/accounting/customer_invoices/terms_conditions>` instead.
|
||||
Consider activating the :guilabel:`Quotation Builder` option in the :guilabel:`Settings`, as
|
||||
well, which is located in the right column beside the :guilabel:`Quotation Templates` option.
|
||||
This feature aides in the design and customization of quotation templates.
|
||||
|
||||
Design a template
|
||||
=================
|
||||
**Note:** enabling this feature also automatically installs the Odoo *Website* application.
|
||||
|
||||
Customize the appearance of quotations on the customer portal by going to :menuselection:`Sales -->
|
||||
Configuration --> Settings` and enabling the :guilabel:`Quotation Builder` feature.

|
||||
|
||||
Before leaving the :guilabel:`Settings` page, don't forget to click the :guilabel:`Save` button to
|
||||
activate the feature(s) and save all changes made during the session.
|
||||
|
||||
Create quotation templates
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Click the :guilabel:`Quotation Templates` link on the :guilabel:`Settings` page, or navigate to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration --> Quotation Templates`. Both options reveal the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Quotation Templates` page, where quotation templates can be created, viewed, and edited.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new quotation template, click the :guilabel:`Create` button, located in the upper-left
|
||||
corner. Doing so reveals a blank quotation template form that can be customized in a number of ways.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: quote_template/blank-quotation-template.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: Create a new quotation template on Odoo Sales.
|
||||
|
||||
Start by entering a name for the template in the :guilabel:`Quotation Template` field. Then, in the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Quotation expires after` field, designate how many days the quotation template will
|
||||
remain valid for, or leave the field on the default `0` to keep the template valid indefinitely.
|
||||
|
||||
In the :guilabel:`Company` field, designate to which company this quotation template applies, if
|
||||
working in a multi-company environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Beneath those fields are three tabs: :guilabel:`Lines`, :guilabel:`Optional Products`,
|
||||
:guilabel:`Confirmation`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the :guilabel:`Lines` tab, products can be added to the quotation template by clicking
|
||||
:guilabel:`Add a product`, organized by clicking `Add a section` (and dragging/dropping section
|
||||
headers accordingly), and further explained with discretionary information (such as warranty
|
||||
details, terms, etc.) by clicking :guilabel:`Add a note`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the :guilabel:`Optional Products` tab, :guilabel:`Add a line` for each compatible cross-selling
|
||||
product related to the original items in the :guilabel:`Lines` tab, if applicable. The products
|
||||
added here ideally compliment the original offering as added value for the prospective buyer.
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, in the :guilabel:`Confirmation` tab, enable options, as needed, to require an
|
||||
:guilabel:`Online Signature` and/or an :guilabel:`Online Payment`, which each allow buyers to
|
||||
confirm orders automatically using the web portal view after the required action is taken.
|
||||
|
||||
There's also an option to add a :guilabel:`Confirmation Mail` to the quotation template, as well -
|
||||
meaning whenever this template is used, and an order is confirmed, an email is sent to the customer
|
||||
informing them that their order has been confirmed.

Design quotation templates
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If necessary, Odoo automatically activates the :doc:`Website </applications/websites/website>`
|
||||
app when enabling this feature.
|
||||
The following section on designing quotation templates only applies to databases that have the
|
||||
*Quotation Builder* feature enabled, which is accessible by following the :ref:`configuration
|
||||
steps above <sales/send_quotations/templates>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Select a template by going to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Quotations Templates` and
|
||||
clicking on a template. Then click the :guilabel:`Design Template` button. On the website builder,
|
||||
click :guilabel:`Edit`. Drag and drop the building blocks, edit the content, and :guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
In the upper-left corner of the quotation template form, there's a :guilabel:`Design Template`
|
||||
button. When clicked, Odoo reveals a preview of the quotation template, as it will appear on the
|
||||
front-end of the website, with a :guilabel:`Template Header` specifying that this content will
|
||||
appear on all quotations using this specific template.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: quote_template/quotation-builder.png
|
||||
:alt: Using the quotation builder
|
||||
To edit the content, look, and overall design of the quotation template, click the :guilabel:`Edit`
|
||||
button in the upper-right corner. Doing so reveals a variety of design elements and feature-filled
|
||||
building blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Use a template

When creating a quotation, choose a template under the :guilabel:`Quotation Template` field. All the
|
||||
fields are then filled accordingly. Manually edit any pre-filled field if needed.
|
||||
Drag and drop any desired building blocks onto the blank quotation template, and proceed to further
|
||||
customize the content to fit any business need. When all blocks and customizations are complete,
|
||||
click the :guilabel:`Save` button to put those configurations into place.
