When a customer asks for a change

Customers ask for another quantity, material, colour or file right from their quote. You see each change on the order and apply it in one go.

Where they ask

What they can change

  1. The quantity, material or colour of any part.
  2. The file, with Upload a revised file.
  3. A whole new part, with + Add a part.
  4. Anything else, in a note.

Then they click the button under it, like Send 2 changes. Nothing is re-priced yet. The page tells them you'll send an updated quote.
