Distribution quoting desk

Six requests for price, and one of them is written in the wrong unit.

An email and a scanned purchase order become a priced quote: the part resolved against a 400 item catalogue, the contract price applied, the stock checked at the branch, and the margin computed on every line. Nothing here is pre-written. The agent reads the request, searches the catalogue and passes a quote tool that does the money itself and rejects a line whose unit does not add up.

Seven lines, each one a catalogue lookup, a contract price and a stock check. Answered here in under a minute.
Enter to send, shift and enter for a new line. Live tool use over 6 requests and 400 catalogue items.
