The Quote tab is available from within all MoversSuite modules and is designed to allow a user to define multiple quote records per order each of which can contain multiple line items (Quote Details).   Further, all details assigned to a quote can be grouped together to provide a generalized description in formatted quote output.

Copy

This option will create a duplicate of the selected quote and automatically add it to the list of quotes for the open record.  This option is useful when there are quite a number of similar quotes that differ only slightly among each other.

The application will return a confirmation prompt upon creation of the new quote.
