Following will show how to set up and use quote templates to quickly create quotes with customer-specific stock codes. By creating a template quote for each customer, users can efficiently generate new quotes and selectively copy the required stock items.

 

On the ribbon, go to Tools > Status and add a new status called Template in the Quote tab.
