Variations
Variations allow for you to make additional quotes once a job has been started and link these quotes to the job to create up to date job values, operational times, material handling and visibility.
Creating a Variation
Important: only jobs with linked leads will allow for the creation of variations.
- Go to your Job & click on the 'Info' tab
At the top of tab is the attached Lead
- Click on the Lead number (this will take you directly to the lead)
Click the +New button and choose 'Quote'
- Complete your normal quoting process, ensuring that the quote status is 'Accepted'
- Go back the relevant Job, go to your Resources Tab & click into 'Quotes'
Click the 'Add' button and select the variation quote you just created
- Job values and relevant operation time/materials will automatically update to reflect the addition of the variation quote
Important: simply revising or refreshing an attached quote to a job will not create a variation or amend values. This is an important step so that your organisation has exact transparency over any changes made during the life cycle of the job.
Pro Tip: You can create a variation just for a work order. Follow the above process but choose the 'Add Quote' inside the work order rather than the parent job.
