Relation of Sales quotes to quotes - how

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 69

Hi there, 

as far as I understand the database, sales-quotes get archived once converted to a a sales-order. 
however, I do not see any direct correlation between sales order and the actual sales quote apart from the timestamp ? (which I haven´t checked)

I can look into archived quotes and see status "order" in there. 
but no mention of what order actually was created. 
I can look at orders, but do not actually see what actual quote led to that specific order ? 

or am I simply missing something ? 

in our former ERP before business central, the underlying order items always carried a unique order-item-ID which was inherited in any other item. so there was a direct correlation from order to invoice to purchase order etc. this made it possible to have a fully transparent chain of document-.events for each item that was ordered. 

how would I do this in BC and is this even possible ? 
thanks in advance

    There is a field Quote No. in Sales Header table which will have the Quote No. while converting Quote to Order.

    Oh I have seen that field, but it keeps staying blank / seems to be inconsistent ? we have hundreds of orders without an actual quote numbe rin that field. so as of today I cannot rely on that field.

    IF thats the core function of establishing a reference, I am happy.

    thank you so much
