Creating Quotes from Templates

Nextian CPQ supports rapid creation of complex, multi-line quotes from user-defined quote templates.

These templates are useful for building complex, multi-line quotes for services such as VoIP (which may include components such as trunks, DIDs, hunt-groups, toll free numbers, etc.), and other complex scenarios.

Important Nextian CPQ quote templates are collections of pre-built line items, not complete quotes. Therefore, templates are applied to existing quotes and function more like adding line items than creating full quotes from scratch.

To create a quote from template:

  1. Create a blank quote or select an existing one.
  2. Open quote details.
  3. Go to Quote Summary.
  4. Click Add From Template.
  5. Select template to use (the template must be active and valid).
  6. Check Delete current quote items if you want to remove all existing items before adding the template. If unchecked, new items will be appended to the existing quote.
  7. Confirm with Add From Template.

Once created, the quote might not be valid — some items may be incomplete or missing and must be reviewed and finalized by the quote creator.
