The Quotes list — stat tiles and quote cards with status, lane, and total

Statuses

Draft → Sent → Accepted / Rejected / Expired, ending in Converted once turned into another record. Two additional states: Quoted and DG Hold (held for a dangerous-goods check). Terminal quotes are read-only — reopen them from the menu ("Reopen quote (revert to Sent)") or duplicate them.

Row actions

View Details, Edit, Duplicate, Send to Customer / Resend to Customer (Draft or Sent), Delete.

Detail page

Tabs: Overview (route, parties, cargo KPIs, financials, carrier options, and the editable field cards), Charges (with count), Commodities, Duties & Taxes, Forms, Attachments, Communications, History, and Best Rates (enabled once origin and destination are set).

Header actions: Send to Customer / Resend to Customer, Accept Quote / Reject Quote (when Sent), Print, Preview as customer, and Edit.

The header menu (⋯) holds: Duplicate Quote, Download PDF, and the three conversions — a quote converts to a Shipment (Convert to Shipment) or to a Shipping Order (Convert to Shipping Order), and additionally to a Warehouse Receipt (Convert to Warehouse Receipt). All conversions open the same dialog:

  • Shipment — pick Transport Mode and Shipment Type (Direct, or Consolidation as Master/House). Commodities move with full history; charges are copied.
  • Order — creates a new Shipping Order from the quote data.
  • Receipt — creates a new Warehouse Receipt in Received status.
  • Duplicate — copies the quote itself, optionally with commodities and charges.

Every conversion locks the quote as Converted with a link to the created record.

A quote's Charges tab — income, cost, profit, and margin per line

Send-readiness checks

Send to Customer and Convert to Shipment run validation first. Blockers include a missing total, missing origin/destination port, no customer, an Incoterm invalid for the mode, and a dangerous-goods hold. Conversion blockers can be overridden explicitly; send blockers must be fixed.
