Enter Sales Quotation Line

Explanation

Like the customer order, the sales quotation is built in two levels: a quotation header and one or more quotation lines. The second step in a new entry is to enter the quotation line(s).

The Quotation Lines tab is used to specify the parts and quantities that the customer wants to order. You can also specify the desired date of delivery, planned date of delivery, condition codes, prices or price breaks, discounts, and some other information for each quotation line. You can choose not to enter any quantity and use price breaks for different quantities instead. By right-clicking the quotation line, you can open the Price Breaks dialog box and enter price breaks.

When a new quotation line is created, the system checks to determine whether the specified sales part has been superseded by another part. If a replacement part has been defined with a date of replacement earlier than or equal to the date the line is created, the part on the line is automatically replaced with the replacement part. An information message is displayed and the sales part number of the originally requested part is stored in the Original Sales Part No field on the quotation line.

If the sales part has a substitute part, you are able to see this and also choose a part by right-clicking the quotation line and open the Substitute Sales Part dialog box.

When a quotation line is entered, it acquires Planned status. The status of the sales quotation header does not change; it is still Planned.

If the sales quotation is being created for a Jinsui enabled customer, and a Jinsui invoice needs to be created, the total line amount must not exceed the maximum amount for the Jinsui Invoice defined for the company.

If the sales quotation line should be released for planning at the time of releasing the line, the Release for Planning check box on the line must be selected.

If the Use Price Incl Tax check box is selected, the Price/Curr and Price/Base fields are non-editable and the price is calculated based on the price including tax value and the tax code. The Price Incl Tax/Curr field is editable.
If the Use Price Incl Tax check box is cleared, the Price Incl Tax/Curr and Price Incl Tax/Base fields are non-editable and the price including tax is calculated based on the value entered for the price and the tax code.

Procedure

To enter a quotation order line:

  1. In the sales quotation header, populate or query for the sales quotation.
  2. Click the Quotation Lines tab, and then click New.
  3. Either specify the sales part number, service part number, or package part number directly in the Sales Part No field or search for it by using the List of Values. If the part you want to enter belongs to an assortment, you can also look up its number by selecting the line, right-clicking and then clicking Parts by Assortment and Site Cluster. In addition, you can enter the customer's part number in the Customer Part No field if a cross-reference is established between your sales part number and the customer's part number. The description of the part is then displayed in the Description field, including the sales unit, price unit, and possible discounts.
  4. Indicate the quantity of requested parts in the Sales Quantity field. You can enter this quantity in the sales unit of measure in the Sales Quantity field. The price per unit and the total price for the order line appears automatically.

    Note: If the Input UoM Group check box on the line is selected, then it is possible for you to enter quantities of the sales part in input units and not in the sales unit of measure. You can select an input UoM from the Input UoM list. Enter the parameters either in the Input Qty field or right-click and click Input UoM Parameters and use the Input UoM Parameters window. If a default UoM has been defined for the input UoM group, it will be the default value in the sales quotation line. 
    Optionally, you can choose not to enter any quantities for the quotation line and instead use price breaks for different quantities.  
  5. You can save the quotation line now if you do not want to add or change any other values. The system then assigns a line and delivery number. The quotation line acquires Planned status.

Optional steps (remember to save your entries):

To cancel a quotation line:

  1. Open the desired sales quotation and select the Quotation Lines tab.
  2. Mark the quotation line you want to cancel.
  3. Right-click, point to Status and then click Cancel Quotation Line.
