Quote Detail

The quotation detail is actually a process of quotation creation that starts in the state ${color}#cfcf and ends in the state Accepted or Rejected. We will now look at the different peculiarities of the quotation and the actions available depending on the state it is in.

The actions always available, regardless of the status of the quote, are:

Duplicate: creates a perfect duplicate of the estimate, with completely identical descriptions, work units, cost lines and details
Move: moves the estimate to another customer (useful action when creating a duplicate)
Delete: deletes the estimate and all associated data

Draft ○

When a quotation is in draft form, it means that it has not yet been issued: it is therefore necessary to enter all the information needed to create a quotation. Let us now see in detail how to enter this information.

Top Bar

In the quote top bar you simply enter the name of the quote.

In the top bar are managed the actions available for this status of the quotation, in this case there is only Create Quotation, i.e. the action that advances it to the status of ${color}#7575.

Information Box

In the information box you need to enter your and your customer's billing information. Click on the pencil to enter all required information (address, VAT number, etc.). **Once you have entered all the necessary information, a label OK will appear on the box.

Enter your billing information in your personal profile and your customer information in the customer database: this way you will not have to enter the information each time you create a quote.

Creation date box

In this box you must enter the date of creation of the estimate and location (e.g. your city of residence).

Project description box

In this box you can enter a description of the estimate.

Estimates box

In this box you can manage all order lines to be entered in the estimate, and you can decide whether or not to make the hourly cost explicit. You can enter order lines of 3 types:

Directly insert a work unit - this is one of the coolest features of Taskomat™, as it allows you to insert a work unit into the estimate: once the estimate is accepted, the work unit will become workable immediately.
Generic order lines - you can enter arbitrary order lines.
Non-taxable expenses - you can enter arbitrary non-taxable order lines (e.g. refunds)

Tax Summary Box

In this box you will find a summary of the taxes applied to the taxable amount, and you can also change your billing configuration (ordinary regime, flat rate, separate management, stamp duty, etc.).

Enter your billing configuration in your personal profile: this way, you will not have to enter the information each time you create an estimate. In any case, you will find the possibility to change it in each estimate.

Payment Instructions Box

In this box you will have to enter your payment instructions. If you enter your IBAN in your profile, you will not have to re-enter it each time.

Box Other

In this box you can enter extra textual content (e.g.: apostilles, clauses, specifications, etc.)
