Complete each field as necessary:
Document No: Do not fill this
in – The document number will be automatically generated once the “Save” button
has been clicked.
Customer: Select the name of
the agent or client by clicking on the 3 coloured dots and choosing from the
list.
Customer Origin: This should

language in which the programme should render.

in which the quotations and invoices should render.

their time.

date of arrival and the date of departure respectively.
Valid From / Valid To: Click
the arrow on the left-hand side to auto-fill the top dates to the bottom. These
dates can be altered/back-dated if you are doing a quote for quite far into the

be used as an estimate.
Category: Select “Group” for
quotes with larger numbers of travellers, or “Individual” for smaller or FIT

the consult’s profile on which Nextour is logged in. This can be changed to
another consultant by clicking on the 3 coloured dots and selecting from the

Consultant Booking: This can
be the same as the Consultant Quote. Alternatively, by clicking the 3 coloured
dots, you can select a different consultant from the pre-populated list to
handle the booking.
Branding: Select the preferred
branding for the quote proposal. This usually defaults to the company branding,
but you are able to load additional ones if necessary.

design in which you’d like the client programme to render in.
Hide Date: When this option is
selected, the programme will render “Days” instead of “Dates” (ie: Day 1, Day
2, etc instead of 01 Jan, 02 Jan, etc).
Booking Name: Choose a very
concise name that will clearly be able to differentiate clients and quotes.
Internal Note: Insert any
important information that needs to conveyed internally (ie: VIP status,
allergies, etc).

client on the quotation or booking.

any emergency contact details on which the agent or client is able to contact
your company.
Click “Save”.
A document number will be automatically generated.
You will notice that a new block appears at the bottom of the page. A Version represents a package in which all
information is contained (ie: number of people, service details, totals, etc).
A quotation may contain many different versions. Each version can be renamed
for easy reference by clicking on the orange bar and typing the information
(eg: Option 1, or 3 Star Option, etc).
