Create a New Quote

Create a new quote to start the Point of Sale process. The new quote process begins with Customer Information and moves through the stages of Save Quote, Work Order, Unpaid Invoice, and Paid Invoice. As part of the new quote process, you have access multiple work pages displayed just above the Stages ribbon. These work pages (Select Parts, Customer Info., etc.) provide you with key access points to the quote, work order, and invoice stages of a glass repair or replacement.

IMPORTANT: You can move from work page to work page at any stage in the new quote process (Quote Work Order, Invoice). However, you cannot return to an earlier stage in the process. For example, once you have moved from the Quote to the Work Order stage, you cannot return to Quote to alter it.

Work Pages and Stages

Work Pages allow you to move between key access points in the quote, work order, and invoice stages of a glass repair or replacement. At the start of the new quote process, the work pages default to the Select Parts work page. Work pages are accessed from the work pages ribbon.

Glass job Stages flow from Save Quote to Work Order, Unpaid/Paid Invoice. After entering Customer Information, you start at the Quote stage. Once you complete a stage, e.g., Quote, simply click the next stage in the ribbon to proceed.
