Once you get current pricing, whether in the Cart, a Shopping List, or Quick Part Search, there is a blue “Create E-Quote” button. After clicking this button, a popup appears allowing you to name your e-Quote. Finally, click the “OK” button and now your e-Quote will appear on the Quotes page.

Yes, if that person is either a Customer Administrator or a Buyer they can order an e-Quote that was created by a different user. Customer Administrators, Buyers and Inquirers have the ability to create e-Quotes.

You are unable to save a e-Quote within your cart if material is out of stock. If after running a Pricing and Availability within your cart, there is a TBD shown the items cannot be priced at this time. Because a price cannot be determined, you will be unable to save this selection as an e-Quote.

Click on “Quotes” in the menu. From the Quotes pages, your saved e-Quotes will appear within a list. To quickly find a saved e-Quote you may search for it by: Name, Quote Number, and Start Created data and End Created Date.

You can see your e-Quote expiration date on the quote header page or on in the e-Quote.

A shopping list is a list of parts you can save to make future, repeat purchases quickly. However, a shopping list does not hold a price for the items, you must recheck for Pricing and Availability on these items each time you make a purchase. An e-Quote however, saves the price on the items for a limited time, allowing you to purchase with a saved price.

There are several reasons why you may have lost your price on your e-Quote. Your e-Quote may have expired if it is older than 5 days or it is the start of the new month. If you add your e-Quote to your cart and there are already items within the cart, your e-Quote price will become invalid.

First, click on “Quotes” in the menu. Once you are in the Quotes page you can search for your quote by: Quote Name, Quote Number, and Creation Date. You may also use the Search Quote Lists box, in the upper right-hand corner of the page, to search for your quote. You can filter your search results by: All Quotes, Valid Quotes, Expired Quotes, Ordered Quotes and Invalid Quotes.

No if you currently have items within your cart and add an e-Quote to your cart a popup message will appear informing you that your pricing may change. The price associated with your e-Quote will no longer be valid if you add it to the rest of the items within your cart.

Within the edit mode, you can select either all the items within your e-Quote or just certain items by checking the box next to the item. After selecting your items, three new options become available. You can now: delete selected items from your e-Quote, copy your items to a new e-Quote or check the pricing and availability on the items.
