Enter a Purchase Quote
- Create a new purchase quote.
How?- In the Home window, click Vendors & Purchases on the navigation pane.
- In the Tasks pane, right-click the Purchase Quotes icon and select Create Quote from the menu.
- Select a vendor
from the Vendor list.
To enter an purchase quote for a vendor who is not included
in your vendor list, you can add a record "on the fly," or enter a one-time vendor. If you
use a one-time vendor, the purchase quote will automatically convert to
an invoice form.
- Enter a Quote No.
- Enter a Date.
- (Optional) Select the
location where you are storing the items. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting)
- In the Item
Number column, click the arrow icon to open the drop down list and select an item or service. You can also click the magnifying glass icon to open the Search window for inventory and services.
- (Optional) If the selected vendor is associated with inventory items or services, only associated inventory items and services appear in the drop down list. If you want to view all your inventory items, click Show all inventory items. Then, click Show inventory items associated with ... to return to viewing only associated items and services. (Sage 50 Quantum Accounting)
- In the Order column, enter an amount.
- (Optional) If the selected vendor uses a unit of measure, you can select the vendor's unit from the list. You must first create the association between the vendor and the inventory item or service as well as define the vendor unit in the Inventory and Vendors window. (Sage 50 Quantum Accounting)
- When you have finished making additions or changes to the purchase quote, select either Process or Print & Process.
Note: If you have already set up associations between vendors and inventory items and services in the Inventory and Vendors window, either the last purchase price or current purchase price is used in the quote. The current purchase price is dependent on the effective date indicated in the Inventory & Vendors window. (Sage 50 Quantum Accounting)
