Create Quotes from deals with just the click of a button!
You hit a stage in a deal when you know it would follow through. This is when you must create a Quote. which is a legal agreement between a prospect and a vendor. Wouldn't it be cool to add a button to the deals module to automatically create a Quote from within the deal, on just a click of a button? Create a Quote at any stage of the deal and associate with the Quote, and save time!
Besides, the quote has the product details specific to the deal, leading to a simultaneously updated inventory as well. Two birds with one stone and all that :&41;
Getting started with the function:
- Go to Setup > Customization > Modules > Deals > Links and buttons > Create new button.
- Provide a name for the button. For example: "Create Quote from deal". Add a description(optional).
- Select the placement of the button as View page.
- Select the action to be performed as "Writing function".
- Copy the code given below.
- Click "Edit arguments".
- Enter the name as "potId" and select the value as "Potential Id".
- Click Save & Execute Script.
- Save the changes.
- Select the profiles who can view this button.
- Click Save.
The Code:
potIdStr = input.potId.toString();
potDetails = zoho.crm._getRecordById("Potentials", input.potId.toLong());
RelatedProducts = zoho.crm._getRelatedRecords("Products", "Potentials", potIdStr);
quotesubject = ifnull(potDetails.get("Potential Name"),"");
contact = ifnull(potDetails.get("CONTACTID"),"");
account = ifnull(potDetails.get("ACCOUNTID"),"");
description = ifnull(potDetails.get("Description"),"");
pdlist = List();
sub = 0.0;
for each eachProd in RelatedProducts
{
productDesc = ifnull(eachProd.get("Product Description"),"");
quantity = 1;
productId = ifnull(eachProd.get("PRODUCTID"),"");
price = (ifnull(eachProd.get("Unit Price"),"0.0")).toDecimal();
listprice = (price * quantity);
mp = map();
mp.put("Product Id", productId);
mp.put("Quantity", quantity);
mp.put("List Price", listprice);
mp.put("Net Total", listprice);
pdlist.add(mp);
sub = (sub + listprice);
}
paramap = map();
paramap.put("Products", pdlist);
paramap.put("Subject", quotesubject);
paramap.put("CONTACTID", contact);
paramap.put("ACCOUNTID", account);
paramap.put("POTENTIALID", input. potId);
paramap.put("Description", description);
paramap.put("Sub Total", sub);
paramap.put("Grand Total", sub);
createResp = zoho.crm._create("Quotes", paramap);
info createResp;
newid = createResp.get("Id");
openUrl( "https://crm.zoho.com/crm/EntityInfo.do?module=Quotes&id="+newid, "same window");
return "Quote Created";
Note:
- The code is zoho.crm._getRecordById for Version 1.0 of APIs and it is zoho.crm.getRecordById for V2 APIs..
