- Build the quote:
- Contact/Company information — a Company is required. If a company is already assigned to the contact, it populates automatically; otherwise, add one.
- PO Number
- Fulfillment Options
- Required Date
- Fulfillment Instructions
- Internal Notes (optional, visible only to your team)

Note: If you receive an error stating the company has no external ID associated, reach out to your IT/ERP System Administrator for assistance updating the company.
- Always add a contact and company to every record — it keeps OA matching accurate going forward.
- Reuse past quotes to save time on repeat orders.
