A customer might want to get a cost quotation before deciding whether
to place an order. You can use the IBM Sales Center to create a quote for
a new or existing customer by beginning with an empty quote, or you can use
it to create a new quote based on the information in an existing quote or
order. This section explains how to view the status of the quote.
Procedure
- Log
on to the IBM Sales Center.
- Select a store.
- Find the quote for which
you want to view quote status.
- On the Quote page, view the quote status information in the following
fields:
- Date quote expires
- Date after which the quote is no longer valid.
- Last modified
