Quotation deadlines

5-
When sending quotations, it is important to set a deadline to encourage your customers to act.
6-
Indeed, this will stimulate them because they will be afraid of missing a good deal and it will also
7-
allow you to protect yourself in case you have to fulfill an order at a price that is no longer
8-
profitable for you.
5+
In the Odoo *Sales* application, it is possible to set deadlines on sales quotations. Doing so
6+
encourages customers to act quickly during sales negotiations, for they might fear for missing out
7+
on a good deal. As well, deadlines also can also act as protection for a company in case an order
8+
has to be fulfilled at a price that is no longer profitable for the business.

With Odoo Sales, it is possible to instantly add an **Expiration Date** from the quotation or the
14-
sales order.
13+
On an Odoo *Sales* quotation, add an expiration date in the :guilabel:`Expiration` field located at
14+
the top of the quotation or sales order form.

To add an expiration date to a quotation, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app`, and select a
17+
desired quotation, or create a new one by clicking :guilabel:`Create`.
18+
19+
On the quotation form, click :guilabel:`Edit` (if modifying a pre-existing quotation), and click the
20+
:guilabel:`Expiration` field. Doing so reveals a drop-down calendar, in which the month and date can
21+
be designated as the expiration date of the quotation.

Deadlines in quotation templates
30+
================================
31+
32+
The Odoo *Sales* application also makes it possible to add a deadline to every quotation template.
33+
Whenever a specific quotation template is used in a quote, its associated deadline is automatically
34+
applied.
35+
36+
To add a deadline to a quotation template, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales app --> Configuration
37+
--> Quotation Templates`, and either select the desired quotation template to which a deadline
38+
should be added, or click :guilabel:`Create` to build a new quotation template from scratch.

It is also possible to add a deadline to every quotation template created. Whenever a specific
25-
quotation template is used in a quote, its associated deadline will be automatically applied. Be
26-
sure to check out our documentation about :doc:`quote_template` to excel in their use.
42+
Then, add a specific number of days to the :guilabel:`Quotation expires after` field, located
43+
beneath the quotation template name. The number of days represents how long the quotation will be
44+
valid for, before it expires. When done, click :guilabel:`Save`.
