      <Paragraph>A customer who is seeking service/repair for an item requests
		for a quotation or a proposal from the service provider for the estimated cost
		of the service/repair that needs to be performed as part of preventive
		maintenance or breakdown repair.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>To calculate the price proposal amount, LN considers
		the following factors:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>Discounts</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Warranty</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Contract</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Repair Warranty</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>To calculate the price proposal amount, LN retrieves
		the sales price for all cost lines (a cost line is any type of cost that is
		incurred in maintenance/repair execution) in case the default values are
		present.</Paragraph>

               <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#fixed" role="option">Fixed</GUIRef>
            </Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#fixed" role="option">Fixed</GUIRef> proposal method, the quotation sales amount remains fixed even after you
			 specify additional cost lines in maintenance sales order (MSO)/work order.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Additional cost lines can be added to account for additional
			 resource requirements when a work order is executed. The new cost lines are not
			 invoiced to the customer.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>LN creates a maintenance sales order (MSO) for the quotation after
			 you process the quotation. LN creates a <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Coverage</GUIRef> line of type <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/mdm.cotp#quotinv" role="option">Quotation Invoice</GUIRef> with the same amount as the quotation sales amount when a work
			 order that is linked to the created MSO is closed. You can invoice only this
			 Quotation Invoice line in the maintenance sales order to the customer.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>After LN creates the maintenance sales order for the quotation, if you
			 add a new cost/coverage line to the work order/maintenance sales order, LN informs
			 you that the quotation from which the MSO originated is a fixed price proposal
			 quotation. The cost line amount, which is not covered by discount, warranty, or
			 contract is added to the quotation. The net invoice amount for the cost line is
			 zero.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>If required, you can change a quotation with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#fixed" role="option">Fixed</GUIRef> price proposal method to a quotation with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#fixedplus" role="option">Fixed Plus</GUIRef> price proposal method. To do this, complete the following

            <Paragraph>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#fixedplus" role="option">Fixed Plus</GUIRef> price proposal method is similar to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#fixed" role="option">Fixed</GUIRef> price proposal method, with the only difference being that the additional cost
			 lines are invoiced separately.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>When you cost the maintenance sales order, you can invoice
			 the new cost/coverage line and the quotation invoice line.</Paragraph>

            </Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>You can invoice all the coverage lines to the customer. LN updates
			 the quotation sales amount whenever a quotation cost line is added, modified,
			 or deleted. The quotation sales amount in the price proposal is an approximate
			 amount. The actual amount can vary.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>LN does not create a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/mdm.cotp#quotinv" role="option">Quotation Invoice</GUIRef> line in the MSO in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/epp.prmd#budgeted" role="option">Budget Indicator</GUIRef> method of the price proposal. All the coverage lines are
			 independently invoiced to the customer.</Paragraph>
