It is common that our client will make multiple quotes for one deal. I need to be able to identify which one is approved/sold and then create a workflow (to process the sale via their internal system).

It is also necessary to keep any declined quotes for reporting purposes.

Without having Enterprise, is this possible?

Hi @AThompson1 .  
You can create a quote based workflow using ‘Quote Status is Approved’ as a trigger:

Hope this helps!

Hi @AThompson1,

You can create multiple quotes on a deal. They will all appear in the right deal sidebar in the _Quotes_ section:

If you use the e-signature feature, HubSpot will show the quote status as pending or signed (_Menu_ \> _Sales_ \> _Quotes_). If not, it will simply state that it’s published. It’s currently not possible to mark a quote as confirmed manually.

If you want an automatic process, that means that you would have to rely on the e-signature. You can then set-up [quote-based workflows which are available in Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/workflows/create-workflows#select-workflow-object-and-type).

Without the e-signature, you would have to create a custom single-line text deal property that stores the reference ID of the confirmed quote. Alternatively, you could [pin a note to the deal record](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/pin-a-note-in-a-record). In either case, automation is going to be a challenge, depending on what you want to achieve exactly.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions!
