On this page

The Open Quotes screen is used to review and manage quotes that are still in Open status.

What this screen is for

Use Open Quotes to manage active quote follow-up. This screen focuses on quotes that are still open, so closed, lost, expired, won, or converted quotes should be reviewed in Quote History.

Screen path

Dashboard > CRM > Quotes > Open Quotes

Key areas

Quote list

The table includes:

Column Meaning
Expand control Opens quote details and actions.
Quote # Quote number.
Customer/Prospect Company receiving the quote.
Quote Date Date the quote was created.
Expiration Date Date the quote expires.
Total Value Quote value.
Status Quote status. This screen loads Open quotes.

Expanded quote detail

Expanding a quote shows customer PO, terms, carrier or shipping method, salesperson, quote lines, and action buttons.

Main actions

  • Print Quote: Opens the quote PDF.
  • Email Quote: Opens the quote email workflow.
  • Edit Quote: Opens the edit quote screen.
  • Convert to Order: Creates a Sales Order from the quote.
  • Mark Lost: Marks the quote lost and removes it from the Open Quotes list.

What happens behind the scenes

Opening this screen loads quotes filtered to Open status.

Printing a quote retrieves the quote PDF and does not change quote status.

Emailing a quote sends the configured quote email, attaches the PDF, writes an email log, and logs a CRM email activity.

Editing a quote updates the quote header and line details.

Marking a quote lost updates the quote status to Lost and records the won/lost date.

Converting a quote creates a Sales Order and updates the quote to Converted with the converted order number. Prospect quotes require prospect conversion before order creation.

Troubleshooting

A quote disappeared from Open Quotes

Likely cause: Its status is no longer Open.

Safe fix: Use Quote History Overview to find the quote by status.

Contact support if: The quote status is Open but it is missing.

Convert to Order is blocked

Likely cause: Required order information is missing, or the quote belongs to a prospect that must be converted first.

Safe fix: Review the quote details and complete the prospect conversion prompt if it appears.

Contact support if: Required information is complete but conversion still fails.

Email Quote is blocked

Likely cause: The quote email template, email configuration, or recipient email is missing.

Safe fix: Confirm the recipient email and ask an admin to check email setup.

Contact support if: Setup is complete but email still fails.
