Quote Details

A quote is a document issued from a business to a customer outlining the price of a sale before the customer has committed to the purchase. Sana complies with any individual business process flow. Placement of the quotes, orders, or quotes with a possibility to convert them into sales orders - all business scenarios are supported by Sana. The quotes system can help you to increase purchases and successfully get conversions on your webstore.

For more information, see Order Types: Quotes and Orders.

On the Quotes history page, a customer can see up-to-date information about each quote placed online, including the date when a quote was placed, expiration date, quote status, total cost, bill-to name, etc. A customer can see the Quote details page by clicking View details on the Quotes history page in the Sana webstore. A customer can also search for a specific quote by its number and filter quotes by date.

On the Quote details system page in Sana Admin, you can see dummy data and you cannot see all information that is shown in the Sana webstore. The real information about quotes is taken from the ERP system, that’s why the data shown on the Quote details page can differ depending on your ERP system.

The quote details page can be styled a little bit differently depending on the customer type who created a quote – B2B or B2C.

Below you can see an example of the Quote details page.
