How to create my first quotation?
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
Quotations are documents sent to customers to offer an estimated cost
|
||||
for a particular set of goods or services. The customer can accept the
|
||||
quotation, in which case the seller will have to issue a sales order, or
|
||||
refuse it.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, my company sells electronic products and my client
|
||||
Agrolait showed interest in buying ``3 iPads`` to facilitate their
|
||||
operations. I would like to send them a quotation for those iPads with
|
||||
a sales price of ``320 USD`` by iPad with a ``5%`` discount.
|
||||
|
||||
This section will show you how to proceed.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Install the Sales Management module
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to be able to issue your first quotation, you'll need to
|
||||
install the **Sales Management** module from the app module in the Odoo
|
||||
backend.

|
||||
Allow discounts on sales order line
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Allowing discounts on quotations is a common sales practice to improve
|
||||
the chances to convert the prospect into a client.
|
||||
|
||||
In our example, we wanted to grant ``Agrolait`` with a ``5%`` discount on the
|
||||
sale price. To enable the feature, go into the **Sales** application, select
|
||||
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and, under **Quotations and Sales**, tick
|
||||
**Allow discounts on sales order line** (see picture below) and apply your
|
||||
changes.

|
||||
Create your quotation
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
To create your first quotation, click on :menuselection:`Sales --> Quotations` and
|
||||
click on **Create**. Then, complete your quotation as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
Customer and Products
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The basic elements to add to any quotation are the customer (the person
|
||||
you will send your quotation to) and the products you want to sell. From
|
||||
the quotation view, choose the prospect from the **Customer** drop-down list
|
||||
and under **Order Lines**, click on **Add an item** and select your product.
|
||||
Do not forget to manually add the number of items under **Ordered
|
||||
Quantity** and the discount if applicable.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
If you don't have any customer or product recorded on your Odoo
|
||||
environment yet, you can create them on the fly directly from your
|
||||
quotations :
|
||||
|
||||
- To add a new customer, click on the **Customer** drop-down menu and click
|
||||
on **Create and edit**. In this new window, you will be able to
|
||||
record all the customer details, such as the address, website,
|
||||
phone number and person of contact.
|
||||
|
||||
- To add a new product, under **Order line**, click on add an item and on
|
||||
**Create and Edit** from the drop-down list. You will be able to
|
||||
record your product information (product type, cost, sale price,
|
||||
invoicing policy, etc.) along with a picture.
|
||||
|
||||
Taxes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
To parameter taxes, simply go on the taxes section of the product line
|
||||
and click on **Create and Edit**. Fill in the details (for example if you
|
||||
are subject to a ``21%`` taxe on your sales, simply fill in the right amount
|
||||
in percentage) and save.

Terms and conditions
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can select the expiration date of your quotation and add your
|
||||
company's terms and conditions directly in your quotation (see picture
|
||||
below).

||||
