Reseller Portal: Progressing a Quote

Any quote can be progressed into an order. To do this you can:

• Send the Customer Confirmation, and upon acceptance, manually place the order following the steps below.
• Complete both steps at the same time (i.e. send approval to the customer, and automatically place the order).

To progress a quote:

1. Open the prospect record.
2. Scroll down to the Agreements section. All quotes created for the prospect are displayed.
3. Click on the Start Order Process link below for the quote to be progressed. The Progress Quote dialog is displayed.
4. Complete the Company Information section as follows:
   
   

   Field / Option	Description
   Company Name	These fields are automatically completed with the details from the prospect record.
   Domain
   Sector	Select a business sector from the drop down list.

5. Amend the Customer Address section as required.
   
   The details of the customer's address is taken from the prospect record, but can be amended if found to be inaccurate. 
6. Complete the Order Details section as follows:
   
   

   Field / Option	Description
   Partner Purchase Order Number	Enter the purchase order number.
   Upload Purchase Order File	Specify the image file of the purchase order. This must be a BMP, PNG, GIF, JPG, or TIFF file

7. Either click on the:
   • Progress Quote button. A confirmation dialog is displayed.
   • Save Details button to save the prospect, but not progress the order.
     
     This is useful if you do not have all the required information available to progress.
8. Click on the Submit Order button to confirm the order. 

If the customer hasn't accepted the solution, the Customer Confirmation is first sent for approval. On approval by the customer:

• A confirmation of the order is emailed to you.
• Mimecast verifies acceptance of the order.
• The customer receiving an email from Mimecast with guidance on how to connect to Mimecast.
• The purchase order being added to the Attachments section of the prospect.
