Adding from an Estimate Template

You can copy the records from an estimate to another estimate.

Notes:

• Your administrator can disable estimate role skills in Services CPQ. For more information, see Managing Custom Settings from Setup.

• When an estimate product is added from a template to an estimate, the current version of the source estimate products will be added. The copied estimate products might therefore be different to the instances of the estimate products that are visible on the template. After adding estimate products from a template, if you edit the source estimate product or the instance of the estimate product on the template, your changes will not be reflected on the copied record.

• Estimated expenses are not currently supported when adding from template.

To add from an estimate template:

1. Click Actions | Services CPQ | Add from Template.
2. Select an estimate to copy from by searching for an estimate using one or more characters anywhere in the estimate name.

   The estimates that are listed are controlled by sharing settings. A maximum of 200 estimates are listed.

3. [Optional] Select an option that reflects the date you want the copied records to start or end in the estimate that they are being copied to. The existing durations are calculated relative to this date:
   • Starting on estimate start date: The start date of the earliest copied record matches the start date of the estimate. If the estimate does not have a start date, the start date of the earliest copied record is used.
   • Ending on estimate end date: The end date of the latest copied record matches the end date of the estimate. If the estimate does not have an end date, the end date of the earliest copied record is used.
   • Starting on selected date: Select a start date for the earliest copied record.
   • Ending on selected date: Select an end date for the latest copied record.

   Your option is retained if you are using the same browser on the same computer.

4. [Optional] Deselect the Include Skills / Certifications checkbox if you do not want role skill requests to be copied from the selected estimate. The checkbox is selected by default.
5. Click Add. You will receive a notification when the records have been added to the estimate.

Note:

The builder must reload to display new records that have been added from template. If you have unsaved changes in the builder when you add from template, a window will display to confirm if you want to save or discard your changes before the builder reloads.
