Revision Authorization/Sell Revision

The Revision Authorization dialog box provides the mechanism to add a subestimate, or to add some, or all, of a number of sub-estimates, to your Manager order.

To attach sub-estimates to an open order:

1. After all sub-estimates are complete, (see Creating Sub-Estimate) select Sell Revision.

The Revision Authorization dialog box displays. At this point you will likely be talking to the customer to describe the recommended revisions and get approval. You can use the Telephone button (bottom left) to access available phone numbers for the customer.

Note: You can supply "what if" scenarios for your customer by clicking on/off the selection boxes of the available sub-estimates. The Total This Revision amount and New Estimate Total fields change dynamically so that the customer can consider the cost of the various sub-estimate combinations.

2.Select the revision(s) you wish to include in the order.

The Include in this Revision fields are where you select revision(s) for inclusion in your order. 

3. Select/deselect revisions by clicking your mouse pointer in the selection box next to the revision. The Revision Amount and the New Total Estimate amount dynamically change with each new combination of revisions.

4.Complete/edit the remaining fields of the Revision Authorization panel. These fields are:

• Approval Date - Fills in automatically with the date that the revision is created. Change the date, if necessary, by selecting a new date from the pull-down choice list.
•  Initiated by - Choose Shop or Customer.
