In Joblogic you can set up a PPM Quote to send to your customers before they commit to their contract. This user guide will detail how to create a PPM Quote and get you started with helpful tips to maintain your sites and assets. ## Adding a PPM Quote To create a contract, choose PPM > Add PPM from the menu on the left. ![PPM Quote 1 .png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/PPM%20Quote%201%20.png) ### PPM Description page This will direct you to the ‘PPM Description’ page. This is page one of four used to set up your PPM Quote. Firstly, choose your PPM type – PPM Quote Next, choose the Customer and Site you want the eventual contract set up against. These are mandatory fields and will need to be filled in to continue. You can enter details into the rest of the fields as required and then click Next. ![PPM Quote 2.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/PPM%20Quote%202.png) ### Selling & Billing The second page is your Selling & Billing page where you can set up the contract invoice and visit details for your Quote. There are a few mandatory fields on this page. You can read more about the Invoice Billing Type [here](https://support.joblogic.com/docs/ppm-invoicing-contract-user-guide) and the Fixed Price Billing Type [here](https://support.joblogic.com/docs/ppm-invoicing-job-user-guide). Firstly, you will need to enter the **Start Date & End Date** of the contract. Next up is the **Selling Rate** - It is advised to use the ‘Non-Chargeable’ selling rate if your invoice prices will not be directly determined by the costs of the jobs within the contract. However, chargeable selling rates can be used if you wish to import any costs from the job to invoices based on those selling rates. The guides above are more detailed but as a short overview for **Billing Type**, use Invoice if you wish to **Invoice** the contract on a set frequency, I.e. Monthly, Quarterly, etc and use **Fixed Price** if you wish to set one price per individual visit. The **Visit Frequency** is not mandatory and can be left until the quote is accepted if you prefer. If you do wish to add your visits at this stage, simply choose your **1st Visit Date**, and the **Visit Frequency**. If you have chosen a **Billing Type** other than No Billing, you will also need to enter an **Invoice Address**. Click the orange edit icon on the right to choose from Customer Address, Site Address or Other to manually enter an address. ![PPM Quote 3.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/PPM%20Quote%203.png) ![Image 2a.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/Image%202a%281%29.png) ### Default Engineer Nothing on the Default Engineer page is mandatory and you can skip it at this stage if you prefer. You can, however, choose a default Engineer, Engineer Team or Subcontractor to assign to all visits created under the eventual contract. Leaving this blank will allow you to assign the job based on engineer availability closer to the time, if the Quote is accepted. ![PPM Quote 4.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/PPM%20Quote%204.png) ### Notes & Attachments The final page is the “Notes & Attachments” page. This is where you can add any notes or attachments that relate to the whole contract. They can be added to individual jobs as normal later too, if required. And finally, click **Create** to generate your Quote. You'll be redirected to the PPM Quote details as soon as it has generated. ![PPM Quote 5.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7b0221a4-2cb1-462b-9b01-b03051eb7ca3/Images/Documentation/PPM%20Quote%205.png) ## Next Steps with your PPM Quote Once the Quote has been created, you have the option to make any final changes by clicking the Edit button.
