Quotations (Sales Estimates)

When supplying hotels, schools, offices, or catering clients, customers often ask for a price estimate before confirming the order.

Create Draft Quote ──▶ Send to Customer ──▶ Customer Accepts ──▶ 1-Click Convert to Sale
(Add items & prices)   (Branded PDF/WhatsApp) (Confirmed order)     (Instantly creates tax invoice)

How Quotations Work:

1. Go to Documents → Quotations and click New Quotation.
2. Select the customer and add items with their proposed prices and tax rates.
3. Set a Validity Date (e.g., "Valid for 15 days").
4. Click Print / Export PDF to generate an elegant quotation with your store logo, payment bank details, and terms & conditions.
5. 1-Click Conversion to Sale: When the client calls and says "Go ahead with the order", simply open the quotation and click Convert to Invoice. The system reserves your stock, generates the official GST Tax Invoice, and records the sale—without retyping a single item!

Delivery Challans (Transporting Goods Without an Invoice)

In many wholesale and manufacturing situations, you need to transport merchandise before issuing the final bill:

• Goods on Approval: Sending 20 samples to a boutique where the owner chooses 5 and returns the rest.
• Job Work & Processing: Sending fabric to an embroidery workshop or raw metal for cutting.
• Staggered Deliveries: Dispatching 3 truckloads across the week against a single large purchase order.

Under Rule 55 of Indian CGST Rules, transporting goods under a Delivery Challan is fully legal:

1. Go to Documents → Delivery Challans.
2. Create the dispatch slip with product names, quantities, and transport vehicle details.
3. Print the challan for the delivery driver.
4. Once the customer receives and verifies the goods, click Convert to Tax Invoice to generate the final bill and collect payment.
