    Info

    Quote Review is for use with the Online Only or Standard and Approved modes. It must be implemented This feature must be switched on by Commerce Vision.

    The Quote Review page gives your customer users access to all current, expired and cancelled quotes requested on the account (except those that needed approver acceptance). Users with quoting access can:

    • For 4.37+ using online only quote mode
    • Cannot be used with approvals


    Allow a customer to reselect a freight option on the day an online only quote is accepted from the Quote Review page. The rest of the quote is locked from editing.


    Freight would have been selected when the quote was created. But it can be days or weeks later that the customer converts the quote to an order. The original freight and estimated delivery date may now be inaccurate. Or if your site makes live freight calls to provide the most up-to-date options, that old freight might now be invalid.

    With the Freight Recalculation setting enabled, the customer must reselect an updated freight option at the time the quote is submitted as an order.
