Generate a quote from Work Order

Emilia Scott on 10/12/2018 5:23:36 PM

We would like to use the work order functionality and take advantage of the Incidents definition and relationship with services and service tasks plus characteristics. After that we would be generating a quote that is sent to the customer for approval/ changes. Currently we have to use a plug-in and go from case to opportunity to quote and then work order. It would be great and less expensive to do without plug-ins.

Thank you for your feedback.

We need some more details to understand your suggestion better. Can you please help us by answering the following questions?

  • What would happen to a work order that generated a quote if the quote isn't accepted?
  • How would you expect scheduling logic to handle a quoted work order before the quote has been accepted?
  • Once the quote has been accepted, how would you expect that to be reflected on the work order?

While we can see this as a potentially interesting use case, we'd love to understand if this work order to quote idea is a more broad demand by seeing this get more votes. At the moment, this isn't something we've heard from the market/community, aside from here.

Sincerely,
