A sales team knows that an order can arrive in multiple formats, from phone calls and emails to online customer e-commerce sites and electronic data interchange (EDI) portals. A sales representative could even take an order while in the field. These orders are often re-entered manually into an ERP solution and could result in multiple errors and delays. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales these errors and delays could easily be worked out.
In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, A Sales Representative wants to be able to easily identify and add products from the catalog to quotes, orders, or invoices. With the enhanced experience of adding products, users can:
- Quickly find products from the catalog, based on a free-text search.
- See matching products as you enter text in the search field.
- Pick products from the categorized list of product families.
- See the most recently used list of products while you add multiple products.
- View product details inline and compares products before selecting any, which helps you find the right product.
- Select and add multiple products at one go.

Most sales begin with a price quote in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales. A quote is a formal offer for products proposed at specific prices and related payment terms, which users send to an opportunity, account, or contact. Quotes in Microsoft dynamics 365 Sales could be easy created from the opportunity. In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, when an opportunity is created, users add their customers’ products. Microsoft Dynamics 365 lets users create a quote from the opportunity and since all the products are already added to the opportunity it reduces the errors.
When users create a draft, they need to activate it when it is ready to go to a customer. After the quote is accepted by the customer, an order is generated from the quote. The order is used to fulfill the agreement of goods or services that were offered in the quote. Finally, after the order for the goods or services is shipped, an invoice is generated. This results in less delay of orders. Users can probably edit a quote multiple times as sales progress.
