Function

Reduces the existing quotes to those created by the user.

Only shows the quotes that have already been created for this opportunity.

Displays only active quotes.

Full text search through the available quotes based on the quote name, minimum 3 letters required.

Only a preview is given in the list of quotes available for selection, but any further filter or entry of a search term will automatically start a server search, so you can be sure to find the quote you are looking for (as long as it matches the opportunity currency and language).

Click on the "Next" button or double-click to close the dialog and the selected document is ready for editing. The account, contact and price book data linked to the opportunity are automatically transferred to the document, provided the corresponding variables are stored. If you select an existing quote as a template, the original quote items are transferred to the new quote. If the products contained in the quote have mandatory product properties without an entry, these are queried when the product is initially loaded.
