Buyers compare quotes
A Word table in email dies. You need a number, a party, and a PDF you can convert.
Quotes
Quotation format (GST-ready)
A quotation is an offer. A GST invoice is the tax document. TiBook keeps both, and converts the quote when the job is on.
Quote ≠ invoice
An offer is not a tax document
Convert
Same lines and tax when the job is on

What it is
What is a GST-ready quotation format?
Search for quotation format usually wants a Word table. That file dies in email. TiBook quotations are numbered documents with parties, tax, and a path to an invoice.
Use document prefixes so QUO- and INV- never clash. Terms should say the quote is not a tax invoice.
We are not a CPQ configurator. Construction BOQ stays in Excel if you need it.
Why it matters
Quote vs invoice
GST is claimed on invoices
If you send a “quote” that looks like a tax invoice, you invite confusion and, worse, tax on work you never got.
Prefixes collide
QUO- and INV- must not share a series. Document types exist for that.
BOQ in construction
We are not a CPQ configurator. A long BOQ can be lines or an attachment. Excel still wins for some tenders.
How to
How to issue a quotation in TiBook
1
Set a quotation prefix
Settings so quote numbers never clash with invoices.
2
Add the party and items
Same catalog as invoices. Tax on the quote so the converted invoice matches.
3
Write terms
Say the quote is not a tax invoice. Validity period belongs here.
4
Share the PDF or public link
Follow up so the deal is not only WhatsApp.
5
Convert when they say yes
New sales invoice, same lines. Do not retype rates.
6
Download a format if you must attach Word
Electrical wiring quotation format exists. Google Docs invoice templates are a separate page.
