Price Quote

Click the RAM Quick Launch icon to access the Price Quote wizard.

The Price Quote option allows you to price items relative to the way the customer wants to rent. For example, you may have different pricing if the items are rented for 6 months than you do if items are rented for 12 months. For this reason, you may need to print a price quote for a customer, before the customer agrees to rent.
