Company Labels: Adjust your Bill To, Ship To, Deliver To and/or Install At by dragging and dropping from the Main Search tool if necessary.
Phase vs. Line Item: Line Item is the default and standard selection that will show your quote by line item. The Phase option will lump everything by phase. We always recommend setting Standards so all quotes are presented in the same way as much as possible. If you want to “phase” your quote we typically suggest doing this in the actual BOM on the Phase level and still use the “Line Item” option here.
View Settings: You can adjust what shows on your quote and what does not show on your quote using the check boxes under the Company Label box. Again, we highly recommend setting standards so once you determine what those standards are you can save a Default Quote Template.
Payment Schedule: This should auto-fill based off of the Terms of Sale selected. See here for additional details.
Required Fields: The fields notated with an asterisk ( * ) must be filled in. If you named your Option correctly this should auto-fill your Quote Name.

The Prepared For field should auto-fill with the Primary Contacts name on the Project Information but can be overwrote if necessary. Salesperson should also auto-fill from the Project Information. The Terms of Sale should also auto-fill based on the Bill To Company record. Expires On will auto-default based on your Admin/Database Settings but can be adjusted when necessary.
Show Quote Cover Page / Show Summary Page: You have the option to turn these pages off. Note: If you want the Summary Page and Cover Page off you must turn the Summary Page off first then the Cover Page.

Deposit Inv Type: If this quote is set to collect a Deposit you should select a Deposit Inv Type which will trigger a Deposit Invoice to print at the bottom of your Quote. Standard and recommended choice here is “Option / Phase”. If you do not select a Type it will remind you at the time of printing/viewing your quote.
Deposit Note: Option to add a Deposit Note here that will show on the Deposit Invoice.
Sign Off Note: Option to add a Note here that will show right next to the Customer Sign Off area on the Quote.
