As the initial step in the project phase, project quotations enable you to approach a customer with an attractive binding offer.

A quotation might encompass many elements such as the items and services that are quoted, basic contact information, special trade agreements and discounts, and possible taxes and surcharges.

Pipeline Management

Your ability to monitor, review, and to a degree control the pipeline of project quotations and orders is an important part of project management. Various tools in Microsoft Dynamics AX can help with this task. Tools such as correct metadata definitions (quotation types, quotation origin, and prognosis and probability) help you analyze the pipeline. You can use these tools to categorize the reasons why a project quotation was won or lost and what the possible value of the quotation was.

Most of this data can be viewed in various statistical outputs like reports or statistics in the Project module.
