Quote Management options (Opportunity View)

Some options in the table above are available in the Opportunity View.

A unique option in the Opportunity View is "Include in opportunity total." By default, Cloud uses the total cost of the opportunity from the latest version of the quote, which is factored into the Sales Forecast report. If you want the total from another version of the quote to be factored into the Sales Forecast report, select the 3-dot menu of that quote and click "Include in opportunity total."

There can be multiple quotes, but you can add the total from only one quote to the Sales Forecast report.

If you don't want an opportunity total to be included in the Sales Forecast report, click "Do not include in opportunity total" for the latest version of the quote or the one that you chose to include in the Sales Forecast report.

Quote Management options (Settings Wheel)

Some options in the table above are available under the Settings wheel for the quote.
