Quotations

Quotation statuses

Understand the lifecycle of a quotation and what each status means.

A quotation moves through a series of statuses depending on the workflow configured. The workflow is determined by the Require confirmation setting on the quotation.


Workflows

There are two quotation flows to choose from when creating a quotation.

No confirmation required

The customer or administrator can place the order directly once the quotation is in Pending status.

Draft → Pending → Finalized

Confirmation required

The customer accepts the quotation first, then the administrator confirms it before the order can be placed.

Draft → Pending → Accepted → Confirmed → Finalized

The workflow is set by the Require confirmation toggle in the quotation's general details. See Create quotation.
