5.1.2 Deleting Expired and Rejected Quotes

In time, a number of sales quotes will be created through your Web portal. The customer may never accept some of these sales quotes, and therefore they will expire. Other sales quotes may be incorrectly filled in, or there may be other reasons why you want to reject them.

Therefore, a number of invalid sales quotes will be registered in your Navision Sales & Receivables application area. You can, of course, delete the sales quotes manually as you would delete any other sales quote.
