Basic need is making process more intuitive, renaming few buttons and involving relevant documents when needed – more precisely, quotation templates, prepayment invoices and commercial invoices. When B2B Customer adds items to the cart there is today limitation where only one option can be available same time: a) Checkout and process order immediately b) Request for Quote (Submit for Review) In real life, Customers need may vary. It means that on certain cases they want to checkout and order immediately, on other cases they want to get better pricing or custom shipping and need to request quotation. Can we make a and b available at all times? It would be useful to have rule, if customer is forced to Submit for Review if there is no shipping options for the product or when order is oversized, overweight etc. and we need to manually add shipping cost. In addition, there is function needed where customer can at least print quotation based on cart so we can avoid manual work and effort our side. In 99% of the cases, B2B Consumers start from asking price or quote. Reasons are different but main reason is for manager approval and organization rules. If someone wants to spend, they need to be sure that the price is fair, so common rule is that 3 quotes from different sellers needed. This rule also helps to avoid corruption within organization, so purchaser won’t buy things from their “contact”. With government related customers it’s even more precisely regulated that for certain value purchases they need multiple quotations. Not sure how to solve it as quote should be stored in case customer wants to convert it to order. One possible route is that when customer is using “Send for Review” there is button “Print/Send Quote” what allows customer at least save PDF Quote or Email it to desired address, same time quote itself will be saved as Draft Quote? When order has been reviewed, customer is getting email to “Complete Purchase” (Confirm Order) Depends on payment terms, customer must process payment immediately or pay later. Critical situation here is that if we require prepayment or items are “on-order” we need to issue prepayment invoice for the customer (legal requirement as there is difference between prepayment invoice and commercial invoice). So, when customer makes payment, they need to get relevant invoice reflecting prepaid amount and balance. To hire someone i need to get idea of what can be done and what not first.
