How do I add a quote to a sales opportunity?

Resolution:

The Quotes tab in an open sales opportunity is where you can add and edit sales quotes for prospective or current customers. When you add a quote, you add products to the quote, price information, and additional details about the quote.

Details of a quote sent to a customer are automatically saved as a note in the opportunity the quote is attached to. The following details will be saved: From, To, Cc, BCC, Format, Attachments, Subject and Comments.  Only fields that contain data will be displayed in the opportunity note.

To add a quote to a sales opportunity, use the steps below:

1. Open the Opportunity for editing. 
    
2. Click the Quotes tab. 
    
3. Click Add New. 
    
4. To select products from the product catalog (if defined), you must first set the Price Schedule.
