A quote is a non-binding price estimate for a customer. It shows what goods or services will cost, without a final agreement having been made, and without affecting inventory or accounts.
Give the customer a price before anything is agreed.
Gather several lines (goods/services) into one combined estimate.
If the customer says yes, the quote can be turned into a sales order or an invoice, so you do not have to type it all again. Only then are inventory and accounts affected.
