Submitted Quotes Report for Manufacturers

Manufacturers may request information regarding their agent's "soon-to-be" orders. This information can help manufacturers anticipate order trends and prepare warehouse stock. These order trends can be identified by knowing the current "submitted" and "order pending" quotes that the agents have. This article will explain how agents can use the Customizable Quote Listing Report to build a report with this information. Note: this example will be built for a parent manufacturer with multiple brands.
