Quote Settings

Quote Settings

A quote is made up of several items, such as line items, terms and notes. In this section of the Global Settings, the user is able to customize various items that relate to quotes. 



GENERIC PROFILES


Generic profiles are used when providing supplemental lift on aircraft outside the operator's fleet for quick quoting. Avianis provides a standard list of generic profiles in the aircraft drop down in the create quote page. If a quote is created in a generic profile, it automatically adds to this list for further management of that generic profile if necessary. This feature can also be used for category of aircraft. For example, Heavy Jet, Mid Jet, etc. See related article How to Quote Vendor Aircraft.
