Enable creation of orders from quotes

Quotes have important data about the customers and the products they're interested in. When you enable the creation of orders from quotes, it allows sellers to quickly create an order from a quote so that most of the details in the order are prefilled from the quote.

Enable quote creation

  1. Make sure you have a Sales Professional Manager or System Administrator role.

  2. In the Sales Professional app site map, select Sales Settings.

    Note

    This feature is not supported for Sales Enterprise and Sales Premium licenses and hence it's not available in the Sales Hub app.

  3. Under Advanced Settings, select Quote Settings.

  4. To enable creation of orders from quotes, set Enable automatic quote to order generation to Enabled.

Can't find the options in your app?

There are three possibilities:

  • You don't have the necessary license or role. Check the License and role requirements section at the top of this page.
  • Your administrator hasn't turned on the feature.
  • Your organization is using a custom app. Check with your administrator for exact steps. The steps described in this article are specific to the out-of-the-box Sales Hub and Sales Professional apps.
