BPM - creating copy of same module

Every year, we create a renewal quote for customers. When customers accept a quote (denoted by changing the quote stage), we'd like to use BPM to create a copy of the quote (and the quote line items) for next year. Unfortunately, BPM only lets you create a "related" record. Since we're triggering the activity on the "Quote" module, it does not appear in the choices.

If anyone can point us to documents/website/video that explains how to create a copy of the quote along with the quote line items, I would appreciate it very mch.

Thank you!

In Sugar Sell 10.1, a new feature was introduced which addresses this need, but similar to Neeraja, it is at the Opportunity level as opposed to Quote. Basically, if you have an Opportunity which includes renewable Revenue Line Items (e.g. a subscription), Sugar will detect that when you mark the Opp as Closed Won, and generate you a new Opp for next year (or however long your service runs for).

This new feature is really nice and I hope it makes its way to the Quotes module. I'd like to see the Opportunity and Quote modules tied much more closely together to remove some of the repetitive data entry required to keep Opportunities and Quotes in sync.

Justin Kuehlthau,

When using RLI (Revenue Line Items), from an Opportunity, it is possible to create the matching Quote.

1- open Opportunity record

2- navigate to RLI subpanel

3- select all RLI that you want to quote for

4- click on "Generate Quote"

5- save the record

Hope it helps
