What are possible reasons for a failed quotation signature?

After a quotation has been converted to PDF and sent to a customer, it will remain valid for signing until one of the following conditions occur:

1. The quotation expires

In order to rectify this, extend the validity period of the quotation by clicking on "Configure" and changing the "Valid Until" date on the quotation.

2. It is updated or saved

If you attempt to update or save a quotation which has already been sent to a customer, you will be prompted that any save will invalidate all quotations already sent. This is required in order to match up the static contents of the PDF with the lines in the quotation.

3. The profitability values change between sending and acceptance

If the profitability changes, a yellow triangle will be shown beside the profitability area of the affected product or services. Just hit regulate on the quotation screen to grab the new profiability values and re-send the quotation.  If the product has been removed from sale, the line will be highlighted in red and can be removed and replaced with an alternative line item.

4. The customer signs the quotation

If the customer signs the quotation, it cannot be signed again and a message will be shown to the user.

5. It is withdrawn by the user from the "Pending" menu of the sales screen

By clicking on the list of pending quotations and removing the most recent (active) from the list, you are in effect withdrawing this verion of the quotation.
