Quotations and the pipeline
How quotations from the POS and the Sales app create, win and lose opportunities on their own.
What happens automatically
| In the POS or the Sales app | In CRM |
|---|---|
| A quotation is saved | A new opportunity "Quotation number" appears in the stage chosen in the settings (default Negotiation), worth the quotation total and assigned to the person who made it. |
| The quotation is turned into an invoice | The opportunity is marked won and moves to the won stage. The invoice appears under Documents. |
| The quotation is cancelled | The opportunity is marked lost with the reason "Quotation cancelled". |
| The valid-until date passes without an invoice | The opportunity is marked lost with the reason "Quotation expired". The quotation itself is not changed. |
These steps follow Settings → CRM → Quotation sync (see Setting up CRM): you can switch them off, or only follow quotations from a minimum amount.
Expiry reminders
With Expiry reminders on, Voltix plans a follow-up "Follow up — quotation number expires on date" for the card's owner, the set number of days before the valid-until date. It shows in My activities.
Good to know
- A quotation creates only one opportunity.
- Only quotations saved while CRM is switched on are followed.
- You can still move these cards by hand, add notes and activities, or mark them lost.
