Quotation System
The Quotation package allows the user to quickly and accurately prepare a customer quotation by accessing the product component cost, labor standard, and operation information from the manufacturing data base. Any new raw materials, components, or operations may be entered on-line. Detailed tooling information by tool is also entered on-line. After entering margin and commission factors, the user receives an itemized quotation summary, either on-line at the CRT or printed.
Receiving, issue and follow-up dates are stored for the quotation, as well as contract status, win/loss reason, and competitors pricing. This permits on-line tracking of all quotations, and with the use of Data Retrieval query language, allows for easy analysis of issued quotations, tailored to the user's needs.
Specific features of the Quotation System include:
- Storage of customer name, address, blue print and quotation information.
- Storage of up to 300 lines of customer, engineering or manufacturing text information.
- Tracking of customer inquiry, quotation issue and revision date.
