For a buyer who pays before shipment: the lines, the incoterm and place, the total and our payment instructions, payable in full before shipment, as a PDF in the buyer's Drive folder. Nothing is sent.
What was taken from it
Nobody has taken an order off this quote.
This opens the order page filled in from this quote; nothing is saved yet. There you set the buyer, how they ordered, the quantity and anything that differs. Saving it opens the trade and leaves this quote live for the rest of the market.
Change it
A change keeps the number and takes the next letter, and this revision is kept whole with everyone it went to. A different market is not a change: the lane, the freight and the buyers all differ, so that is a new quote with a new number.
