QUOTE FORM

[#1]

Our business is strictly based on commissions.  We have multiple Manufacturers each with different pricing structures.  I understand that there are add-ons for Act that would generate a quote form, however I would prefer not to have to duplicate entering information in different programs.  I may be missing something, but I would like to be able to use the current quote form and add in my own calculations for each manufacturer setting up a template for each of them.

The issue I see is that there are so many ways companies calc this: % of total, % of margin, sliding scales depending on discount, one % till hit target, then a different one, even different calculations for different products, etc...

It's doable in an add-on for a specific set of scenarios, but  to add enough options for a majority of ACT! users would make it a really complex feature to use and setup

If important enough, it can be done in a custom add-on  with your rules. This doesn't need duplicate info, we are doing one now to apply discounts based on the contact's price level and product
