In order to don't have to re do from scratch the configuration of a One Quote for similar clients or to requote same products when an active quote expires, Account managers have the possibility to:

  • Extend validity dates of a quote without any approval requested
  • Renew an active or an expired One Quote
  • Clone an existing One Quote


I/ Extend One Quote

As an Account Manager, I can without approval extend once the validity of my quote by 30 days.

This feature is available clicking the "Extend One Quote" button (1) at the top of the One Quote layout
