Create a New Quote

You can quickly create a quote from any Customer page. 

1. On a Customer page, scroll to the Invoices section.
2. At the top of the Quotes section, click New Quote.

3. On the New Quote page, select a location for the quoted work from the Location Work Performed At dropdown list.
4. Click Add Line Item to add a new item to the quote.

5. Fill in the Quantity, Item Price, and Description.

6. Check the Taxable box if this item is taxable; the Line Total and Total amount will be automatically calculated and adjusted.

7. If you use QuickBooks Online, fill in the Product information.

8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each line item that you want to add.

9. To add a Standard Quote Item, select the standard item from the dropdown list and then click Add Line Item. This automatically adds the Quantity, Item Price and Description for the line item.

NOTE: See our article about setting up Standard Invoice Line Items to learn more.

10. Change the Quantity of the Standard Quote Item as needed.

11. Check the Taxable box if this item is taxable.

12. Add the Product for QuickBooks Online as applicable.

13. Repeat steps 9-12 for each Standard Quote Item that you want to add.

14. Once you have finished adding all of the line items for the quote, use the arrows to the right of the line items to move them up or down as desired; the order that appears here will be the same order that appears on the PDF.

NOTE: If line items have the same description and price, they will be combined on the PDF only if you move these items next to each other on this page.

15. Fill in the Payment Terms, Due Date, Invoiced Date, and Comments as desired.

16. Click Create Quote at the bottom of the page.
