One-Click Service Change Quotes

It is possible to create a change quote for an existing service with a single click from the service details view.

  1. Open the details view for the service to create a quote for.
  2. Click Create Quote action button.
  3. Select change type such as Re-Term or Change Service Add-Ons.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select a price book used for the new opportunity and provide optional description.The original price book that was used to create the service (Price Book field on the service) will be pre-selected when available, however user may override the selection (e.g., with a special promotional price book). The description will be copied to the newly created quote line item.
  6. Provide additional information dependent on change type, and click Create Quote.
  7. A success message is shown; the new quote can be opened using the Open Quote link.

As a result:

  • A quote and a corresponding opportunity are created.
  • Both share the same auto-generated name: <Change Type> for <Service Name>.
  • The quote is syncing with the opportunity.
  • The quote contains one line item corresponding to the selected change type.
Important Nextian prevents creating a duplicate change quote/opportunity for a service (i.e., when an open change opportunity of particular type already exists for the service and the opportunity is not closed).
