Quote Word template - product categorization

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

What is the easiest way to categorize sales line items in Word Quote? It can be in the same table or by category in separate tables.

We are not using Product catalogue, instead we use only write-in products and have custom field for product type. 

I'd prefer using docx (XML), but mail merge Word file is ok too. 

Is there any simple app to do this?

This is for Dynamics CRM online.

Thanks.

Suvi

    I remember running into this post last year, but I thought this seemed pretty complicated to maintain. Plus, it uses Mail Merge, not Word Templates. And feedback comments were not so great ;).

    I know this can be achieved with Reports but again, not very flexible (PDF Output)...

    Thanks, im very surprised that this simple step cant be done, I have also been looking for a solution for this. The only similar thing I found is this solution (mscrm-workarounds.blogspot.mx/.../mail-merge-quote-grouping-products-by.html) but is outdated. If I find something I will let you know.

    Not really. We ended up using a single table. It does not meet our requirement but our users found a way to work with this.

    I'm still searching for a workardound...

    Thank you Prashant.

    I understand how sorting works.

    But what I need is more than that. If I have 3 categories of product on one quote, I need to have 3 different tables on the quote I print.

    Table 1 for Category 1 products

    - Product A

    - Product B

    Subtotal ($)

    Table 2 for Category 1 products

    - Product C

    - Product D

    Subtotal ($)

    Table 3 for Category 1 products

    - Product E

    - Product F

    Subtotal ($)

    You need to Go to settings>>customization>>customize the system>>quote product

    Click 'Save as' on the inline edit view and add your column 'category'; configure sorting on this column.

    Now create a document template for Quotes

    Hi there!

    Did you ever find a solution to this?

    I need to print quotes with products grouped by category - with subtotals after each categoryé

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!
