Convert a quote
Accepted quotes can become either a repair or a parts order, while the original quote remains as a reference record.

Quotes are intentionally stateless. Instead of moving them into Accepted or Rejected states, RepairNode expects you to convert them into the real working record once the customer says yes.
When to convert
- Convert to a repair when the quote becomes an actual repair job on the customer device.
- Convert to an order when the quote becomes a customer-facing parts order instead of a tracked repair ticket.
- Leave the quote untouched when you only need a historical record of what was offered.
Convert to repair
- 1Open the quote detail and choose Convert → To RepairThe conversion entry lives in the quote action sheet.
- 2Review the prefilled repair formRepairNode preloads the customer, the quote serial/identifier, the issue text built from quoted items, and the estimated cost.
- 3Save the repair as a new ticketThe new repair starts as its own record. The quote is not edited in place.
Convert to order
- 1Open the quote detail and choose Convert → To OrderThis uses the order form, not the repair form.
- 2Continue with the customer already selectedThe current app intentionally pre-fills only the customer so the order flow stays explicit about supplier, quantities, and final purchasable items.
- 3Enter the order items and saveThe new parts order is created independently, while the quote remains available for reference.
