How to Assign a Quote to a Procurement User

 

Quotes are typically created by dealers as project proposals for their client to approve new product purchases. Quotes are created after extensive discussions and require tracking and signed approvals. Once approved on the site by the client, the full order details can be sent back to the business system for finalization.

SnapTracker provides the ability for a user to upload dealer quotes and assign the quotes to another user, such as a customer, for acceptance.

Creating a quote and assigning it to another user enables you to provide your customers with access to quotes from your business system online.

The quote can be created by uploading a SIF file and/or by adding product to the quote from the Inquiry screens of Quick Search, Product Search or Product Catalogs.

Quotes are for new product orders only.

Before starting, make sure;

  • You are logged into SnapTracker.
  • Your user account has shopping enabled.
  • You have access to a minimum of one customer with shopping enabled.
  • You have access to My Quotes screen.
