Quotes and Orders do not post to transactions to your income statement or balance sheet.

Quotes don't stay in the system if they are converted to Orders or directly to Invoices.

Orders will stay in the system for lookup with the Quantum version after converting to an invoice.

But if you never convert as it looks like is your intention, you will be able to go back and look at them any time in lookup mode, but Pending Sales Orders has a report, Quotes do not.

A Purchase Quote transaction happens usually over the phone or email. It is made for recording a cost estimate on a specific day and time as perhaps the items you are wanting to purchase can go up and down in price. This information is already received to you via email or phone so you don't need to print it.

When you decide that you want to Purchase the items from the Purchase Quote, a PO or Purchase Order is usually created. Only Purchase Orders can be printed because you may need to fax the PO to the supplier / vendor.

The vendor / supplier will send you an Purchase invoice via email, fax or physical mail. This is why you can't print a Purchase Invoice. Only Invoices and Payment post to your GL
