Sales Quote Template
Part numbers, unit price, quantity breaks, lead time and Incoterms. Free PDF, no sign-up.
A sales quote prices goods rather than hours, and that changes the whole document. The unit price is the argument, the quantity break is the negotiation, and the lead time is the risk — because a price can be held while stock cannot. It ends not in a signature but in a purchase order: the buyer's own system raises a number against your quote, and that number is what releases the goods.

What this quote commits you to
- How long it stands
- 30 days, subject to stock at the time of order — the price is held for that window, the inventory is not.
- What it does not cover
- Freight, transit insurance, import duty and customs clearance, and any installation or commissioning at your site.
- What would change the price
- An ordered quantity below the break the unit price was quoted at, and any change to the delivery Incoterm.
- How the client accepts it
- Issue a purchase order quoting this quote number; the PO releases the goods, and a reply on its own does not.

What to put on a sales quote
- Every line by part number or SKU, not by description alone
- Unit price with the quantity it applies at, and the next price break above it
- Lead time per line, stated separately from the quote's own validity
- Whether stock is allocated on acceptance or on receipt of the purchase order
- Incoterm and delivery point, so freight and insurance land on somebody
- Packaging and pallet configuration where it affects the freight cost
- Minimum order quantity, and the returns policy on unopened goods
Questions
Does a sales quote reserve stock?
Not unless it says so. The price is held for the validity period; the inventory is sold to whoever orders first. Stating that plainly is what prevents the most common dispute on this document — a buyer who accepted on day twenty-eight and expected a warehouse to have been waiting.
Why show the next quantity break?
Because it sells. A buyer who can see that 500 units costs eleven percent less per piece will often move their order, and a quote that hides the break has left the upsell to a phone call nobody makes.
Why is acceptance a purchase order rather than a signature?
Because that is how the buyer's own system works. Their PO number is what their accounts payable will match your invoice against, so asking for it — and printing your quote number on it — is what makes the paperwork close cleanly at the far end.
