How to configure quote numbering and association rules?
Customize your quote numbering format and define catalog and pricing association rules
Introduction
This screen allows you to configure two essential aspects of quote management: the automatic numbering format and the association resolution mode. These settings ensure a consistent organization of your quotes and define which elements (catalogs, pricing grids, etc.) are available during creation.
Access
- In the left side menu, click Settings
- In the Workspace section, click Quotes
Configure quote numbering
Create your own numbering format by combining text and variables.
Available variables
- {0000} : Counter (add zeros for the desired length) - Example: 0001, 00001
- {YYYY} : Year (4 digits) - Example: 2026
- {YY} : Year (2 digits) - Example: 26
- {MM} : Month (01-12) - Example: 03
- {DD} : Day (01-31) - Example: 15
Format examples
- QUO-{YYYY}-{0000} → QUO-2026-0001
- Q{YY}{MM}-{000} → Q2603-001
- {YYYY}{MM}{DD}-{00000} → 20260315-00001
Reset the counter periodically
If you want the counter to reset to zero on a regular basis:
- Enable the Reset quote numbers periodically option
- Frequency : Select the reset frequency:
- Day : The counter resets every day
- Month : The counter resets every month
- Year : The counter resets every year (default)
- First number after reset : Set the starting number after each reset
- Click Save
QUO-{YYYY}-{0000}, your quotes will be numbered QUO-2026-0001, QUO-2026-0002... then QUO-2027-0001 when moving to the new year.
Configure the association resolution mode
This setting determines which catalogs, pricing grids, contract templates, payment terms, and payment methods are available when creating a quote.
Priority order
Qwoty checks associations in this order:
- Customer (highest priority)
- Customer segment
- Template (lowest priority)
Available modes
Inclusive Mode
The elements from all levels are combined and available.
Example: If the customer has associated pricing grids, those from the segment and the template remain available as well.
Exclusive Mode
Only the elements from the first configured level are available. The other levels are ignored.
Example: If the customer has associated catalogs or payment methods, those from the segment and the template are ignored.
Select the desired mode from the drop-down menu, then click Save.
