Quote Settings


Before setting up any Quotes you should ensure the settings in Quote Settings and General Settings are correct.

From the main menu go to Tools > Settings and select the Quote Tab (see highlighted below)

      




  •   Required Time in Days

If this has a value other than 0, this will automatically populate the Required By Date in the Quote (highlighted below) e.g. a value of 10 will populate the date as today's date plus 10 days

  •   Valid Until End Of Next Month and Expiry Time In Days

If Valid Until End Of Next Month is on, new Quotes will have the Valid To field automatically set to the end of next month (highlighted below). 

If Valid Until End Of Next Month is off, and Expiry Time In Days has a value other than 0, this will automatically populate the Valid To field in the Quote (highlighted below) e.g. a value of 10 will populate the Valid To field as today's date plus 10 days.
