As per my understanding you can also create Quotation from Purchase Order cart when you create order on backend screens.
There can be two cases that I can think of:
1) Suppose I started purchasing some item from my Supplier(Purchase Order entry in Backend) and in between I decided to get quotation first from that Supplier, at the same time I can create other quote from the quote screen to get multiple quotation from different Suppliers.
2) From the generated requirement I started creating Purchase order and in the mid of Purchase Order process I decided to get quotation from multiple supplier. So I would prefer to create quotation from Purchase Order.
The code present inside orderShortcuts.ftl file only enables link for quotation when you are creating Sales Order.
<#if shoppingCart.getOrderType() == "SALES_ORDER">
<li><a href="<@ofbizUrl>FindQuoteForCart</@ofbizUrl>"
class="buttontext">${uiLabelMap.OrderOrderQuotes}</a></li>
<li><a
href="<@ofbizUrl>createQuoteFromCart?destroyCart=Y</@ofbizUrl>"
class="buttontext">${uiLabelMap.OrderCreateQuoteFromCart}</a></li>
<li><a
href="<@ofbizUrl>createCustRequestFromCart?destroyCart=Y</@ofbizUrl>"
class="buttontext">${uiLabelMap.OrderCreateCustRequestFromCart}</a></li>
</#if>
I have also seen that Manual Quote entry for "Product" &
"Product_Purchase" works fine and later on you can create "Sales Order"
& "Purchase Order" respectively for the approved quotation.
Please let me know if any technical details are present for sticking Quotation with *ONLY* Sales Order cart.
