Quotation Management Software in ERPNext: Control Revisions Without Duplicate Quotes

Quotation revisions are a normal part of sales. But when multiple versions are created manually, sales teams can lose track of the latest price.

A customer may change the ply, quantity, paper specification or price after receiving a quotation.

The sales team needs to create a revised quotation without losing the original details.

This is where quotation management software with proper version control becomes useful.

The Problem with Manual Quotation Revisions

Packaging manufacturers often revise quotations several times before an order is confirmed.

Common problems include:

1. Multiple quotation versions for the same customer
2. Original quotation dates getting lost during amendment
3. Two users creating different revised quotations
4. Difficulty finding the latest quotation
5. Salesperson details being entered incorrectly
6. Extra steps to cancel and amend quotations

When quotations are managed through Excel or disconnected systems, tracking the latest version becomes difficult.

One-Click Quotation Revision in ERPNext

With the customised ERPNext quotation workflow, the sales team can use:

Create → New Quotation

The system automatically:

1. Cancels the existing quotation
2. Creates a linked draft quotation
3. Copies items, weights, kits and quotation details
4. Retains the original quotation and validity dates
5. Links the old quotation to the new version
6. Opens the new quotation for editing

This creates a simple and traceable quotation revision process.

Duplicate Quotation Versions Are Blocked

A major requirement in sales quotation software is version control.

Once a quotation has already been amended, the system identifies the existing linked version.

Instead of allowing another amendment, the user receives a clear message showing the existing revised quotation.

This helps prevent multiple active prices from being created for the same customer.

If the latest quotation is cancelled or deleted, the previous quotation can be revised again.

Salesperson Details Can Be Automated

Quotation accuracy is not only about price.

The salesperson assigned to the quotation is also important for sales reports and performance tracking.

When a new quotation is created, the system can identify the user's active Employee and linked Sales Person automatically.

This reduces manual selection and keeps sales reporting more consistent.

Customer-Ready GST Quotation

The quotation can also be configured for Indian business requirements.

The customised format can include:

1. Customer GSTIN
2. Place of supply
3. GST tax breakup
4. Rounded total
5. Amount in words
6. Required commercial details

This gives the sales team a consistent quotation format from creation to revision.
