Quick Start

Quote Creator

This tool builds Quoter quotes from the GLU catalog, shipping data, and customer records. The fastest way to succeed is to follow the workflow in order: customer first, items second, addresses third, shipping fourth, then preview and publish.

Fast Path

1

Pick the customer

Search the parent account, select the right contact, then confirm the ship-to and bill-to addresses before you do anything else.

2

Add the items

Search by SKU or name, add the required products, then adjust quantity and pricing in the cart on the right.

3

Handle shipping

Enter the destination ZIP and apply a rate if auto-shopping is available. If shipping is blocked, read the warning card and only enter a manual shipping amount if that has been approved internally.

4

Finish the quote details

Choose the source, leave or change the template, set owner if needed, and optionally add internal notes or a discount.

5

Preview and publish

Use Preview if you want a final review, then publish. After publish, confirm the quote reached Quoter and the owner assignment looks right.

Common Warnings

Automatic shipping is blocked

One or more SKUs are missing usable website or shared shipping data. Carrier rates are intentionally disabled. Read the listed SKU warnings, then either wait for data cleanup or enter a manual shipping amount if you already have approval.

No ship-to or billing address

The quote cannot be submitted until both are complete. If a saved ship-to does not exist, switch to manual entry and fill all fields.

No shipping line on the quote

The app warns before submit if there is no shipping line. Do not ignore that by reflex. Either apply shipping or intentionally confirm that the quote should go out without it.

Quote bot offline

The frontend depends on the shared runner host. If the runner status looks offline, wait a moment and retry. If it stays down, treat it as an environment issue rather than a quote-entry mistake.

Before You Submit

  • Customer account is correct.
  • Contact is selected.
  • Ship-to and billing addresses are complete.
  • All cart quantities and prices are correct.
  • Shipping line is present if the quote should include shipping.
  • Source is selected.
  • Owner is selected if the quote should be handed to a specific rep after publish.

Recommended Daily Workflow

  1. Start with the customer and addresses.
  2. Build the cart and verify pricing.
  3. Check the shipping area before you preview.
  4. Use Preview whenever the quote is high value, unusual, or manually priced.
  5. After publish, verify the success message and the Quoter link.

What The Toggles Mean

  • Review Before Start: opens a final preview gate before the bot starts work.
  • Auto Publish: publishes automatically instead of stopping at draft.
  • Show Browser While Running: keeps the real Quoter window visible on the host machine.

When To Stop And Ask

Stop and ask for help if the customer record is unclear, shipping is blocked for a critical SKU, the quote should ship without a shipping line, or the bot reports a runner/session problem that does not clear on retry.
