All customer pricing functionality is done within the Sales Module. There are three different ways to get pricing out of the system: Quick Price, Estimates & Orders.
Estimates & Orders both require that you enter company information on the first step. This pulls in any customer settings you may have for that customer, including pricing or tax brackets.
Quick Price does not require customer information which makes it ideal for quoting prices to customers who call in or stop by looking for basic prices.
Products
An order (or an estimate) contains one or more Products. A Product is a completed, finished item that is made up of one or more Parts, and shows up as a single line on an invoice. Everything within this box shows up as a Line Item on an Invoice or Estimate.
Entering Products:
- Open a Quick Price, Estimate, or Order. (Estimates & Orders will require you to select a customer & enter an order description)
