Saving and Approving Quote
Quotes are used for negotiating and confirming orders. Quotes can be created, saved and downloaded as a PDF to compare various options or to get approval from a manager or team member before ordering. Any requests that needed manual pricing by the Printing Service also appear as quotes for the buyer to approve as orders once the price has been confirmed by the Printing Service.
