Creating Product Quotations:

The Quotation Master allows businesses to create detailed and professional product quotations effortlessly.

• Product Selection: Users can easily add products from the inventory to the quotation. The system provides a comprehensive list of available products with details such as description, unit price, and available quantity.
• Customization: Quotations can be customized with additional information, such as terms and conditions, payment terms, and any special instructions. This ensures that the quotation aligns with the business’s branding and specific requirements.
• Pricing Flexibility: OFFIIO Business Accounting accommodates various pricing models, allowing users to set fixed prices, apply discounts, or use dynamic pricing strategies based on quantity or customer relationships.

2. Creating Service Quotations:

In addition to product quotations, the Quotation Master supports the creation of detailed service quotations.

• Service Description: Users can input detailed descriptions of the services offered, including scope, duration, and any associated costs.
• Hourly Rates or Fixed Fees: The system accommodates both hourly rates for services rendered over time and fixed fees for predefined services.
• Terms and Conditions: Similar to product quotations, service quotations can be customized with specific terms and conditions relevant to the services being provided.

3. Real-Time Product Quantity Alerts:

One of the standout features of OFFIIO Business Accounting’s Quotation Master is the real-time product quantity alert system.

• Inventory Integration: The system integrates seamlessly with the inventory management module to provide real-time updates on product quantities.
• Alerts for Low Stock: Users receive alerts when the quantity of a product in the quotation is approaching or falls below a predefined threshold. This proactive alert system helps in avoiding stockouts and delays in fulfilling customer orders.

4. Converting Quotations:

The Quotation Master in OFFIIO Business Accounting provides the functionality to convert quotations into different transaction types, depending on the stage of the sales process.

• Sales Order: A quotation can be converted into a sales order, indicating the customer’s intent to purchase. This streamlines the order fulfillment process and ensures that products or services are reserved for the customer.
• Proforma Invoice: For international transactions or scenarios where a formal invoice is not yet required, a quotation can be converted into a proforma invoice. This serves as a preliminary invoice, providing details of the upcoming transaction.
• Invoice: Once the sale is confirmed, the quotation can be converted into a final invoice. This process eliminates redundant data entry and reduces the risk of errors.

This ensures that businesses can fulfill customer orders without the risk of stockouts, enhancing reliability and customer satisfaction.
