Copy an existing quotation
Follow this guide to create a new quotation using an existing quotation’s data. The guide then takes you through the correct route, the checks to complete before making changes, the workflow in order, and the evidence to review afterwards.
Where to goAdmin Area → Purchase → Quotations → open quotation → Copy
Before you start
- Use an account with purchase_quotations capability and quotation status capability where applicable and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
- Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
- Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

Rules the system enforces
- Quotation status changes require the dedicated quotation status capability.
- Automatic purchase-order creation occurs only when the relevant option is enabled and the quotation reaches the supported approval state.
How to confirm it worked
- The supported copy an existing quotation flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
- The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
- Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.
Security, privacy and operational checks
- Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
- Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
- Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
- Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
