1. Preliminary Notes 

Via the menu item "Products" and the sub-item "Offers" it is possible to access the offers. If offers have already been created, they will be displayed here. By clicking on an Internal Title (1) or the column "Details" (2), the detailed offer overview is opened.

Note: The "Active" and "Archived" tabs (3) can be used to switch between the overviews for currently active or archived offers.

3. Basic Data

At the beginning, an overview with the most important features of the offer is presented. Icons are used for a simple and clear presentation:

(1): indicates what type of offer it is.
(2): indicates how many steps the offer has.
(3): indicates how many products are included in the offer.
(4): indicates how many bundles are included in the offer.
(5): indicates whether the offer is a multi-user offer. The multi-user count is included in the icon. If the multi-user count is over 9, this is noted with an "n" after the "U".

Below the icons, further features are displayed in the form of a text, which are marked either by a check mark in case of approval or by a cross in case of rejection (1). In addition, the payment types that differ from the company settings are linked, if applicable (2).


Note: Some aspects can only be edited after an offer has been created. In (1) you can see that the last item has a green check mark. However, this could not be set during offer creation, as all offers can be cancelled by default in Self Service. If you don't want this, you can use the menubar to "Block Cancellation in Self Service". The setting whether the invoice or delivery address should be mandatory can also be managed only after creation. The deviating payment types mentioned in (2) can also only be set after creation.

4. Extended Offer Data

After the basic data, it may be that a note follows in case, for example, delivery lists or account sheets have been created but not assigned to the offer. Additionally, information about sales rules (1) is displayed as well as information about active contract modules (2). More detailed documentation on sales rules and contract modules can be found in our Knowledge Base.

The next section contains information about additional data, IVW rules, tags and bonus. However, these functions can be edited only after the creation of the offer, just in the detailed view.
