Estimating: Modifying the Sales Quote to Include Estimates

The modified version of the Quote (SO641000) report that includes estimates is provided. The following are the modifications made to the report by using MYOB Advanced Report Designer:

• The SO6411AM.rpx subreport has been added, which contains the details of each line from the Estimates tab of the Sales Orders (SO301000) form.
• The total extended price of the estimates has been added to the Totals area.

Because most clients modify the standard printable forms to suit their needs, the customized report is not installed so as not to overwrite your modified report. You can choose to make the same or similar changes we made to the printable form (which the report provides) to your own form or if you have not made changes yet, install the customized version of the report and subreport and tailor them to your needs.

How to Use the Modified Report

If you have not modified the Quote (SO641000) report and wish to use the modified version as is or as the starting point for your changes, then you can copy the main report to the server or the site/ReportsCustomized folder. You can modify the report by using MYOB Advanced Report Designer in one of the following ways:

• If you have access to the server file system, you copy the SO6410AM.rpx file from the site/ReportsDefault folder to the site/ReportsCustomized and rename it to SO641000.rpx.
• If you do not have access to the server file system, you do either of the following:
  • Open the SO6410AM.rpx file from the server and save it to the server as SO641000.rpx; we strongly recommend you save it as a new version.
  • Download the SO64100AM.rpx file from this topic.
