Price Book and quote templates

Build a reusable Price Book and quote templates so proposals stay consistent across your team.

  • Organize services, labor, parts, materials, equipment, and flat-rate packages with categories and trades.
  • Track selling prices and internal costs for your records.
  • Archive and restore Price Book items; repair templates when a linked item was archived.
  • Quote templates can mix Price Book lines and custom lines; reorder, duplicate, archive, and restore templates.
  • Applying a template to a quote resolves current selling prices from the Price Book where linked.

Build your reusable catalog

  • Open Price Book and choose Add item. Enter its name, item type, trade, category, unit, selling price, and internal cost details as needed.
  • Use the category management control to organize related items. Filters help you find the right trade, category, or item type.
  • Edit an item to update its selling price or details. Internal cost information helps your office prepare pricing; it is not a separate customer charge.
  • Archive an item you no longer offer. Use the archived view and Restore when it should be offered again.

Prepare and maintain Quote templates

Open Quote templates and create a template for a repeat proposal. Add Price Book lines or custom lines, arrange their order, and save the template. Open an existing template to edit its structure; duplicate, archive, or restore templates through the available actions.

When preparing a Quote, select Price Book items or apply a template, then review quantities, prices, and the final customer-facing lines before saving. Linked template items use current Price Book selling prices when applied. If a linked item was archived, repair the template or select an active replacement before applying it.

Quote templates prepare proposals. Agreements use externally prepared PDFs and their own electronic-signing workflow; a Quote template is not an Agreement template.

Templates vs live catalog

Quote templates store structure and line references. When you apply a template, linked lines use current Price Book selling prices unless you adjust them on the quote.

Where to find it: Open Price Book for the catalog and Quote templates for reusable proposals.
