I thought I asked this question recently, and received a suggestion, but I can't get the suggestion to work. Sorry for the repetition.
To me at least, one of the most annoying features of GnuCash is the inability to create a quotation. I believe this is not *strictly *an accounting issue, but the ability to create a quotation can be found in almost any *accounting *software for a business. *Sage * http://desktophelp.sage.co.uk/sage200/professional/Content/SOP/SOPQuotations.htm *Quickbooks* https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-au/job-estimates/set-up-and-use-quotes/00/346034# *Freshbooks* https://www.freshbooks.com/blog/quotes-freshbooks# *Xero* https://www.xero.com/uk/resources/small-business-guides/business-management/price-quotes/ *Oracle's Netsuite* https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_4494997073.html *Microsoft's Dynamics 365* https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/sales/create-edit-quote-sales etc etc. If I had the skills, I would add the ability to create quotations myself, but I most certainly do not. 😢😢😢 I think there are some fudges to get around the inability to create a quotation, but what are they? I believe someone said create an invoice, but do not post it. Whilst I can do this, and go back and retrieve the invoice, the invoice has no contents. I was looking at other options to GnuCash, since I am not 100% committed to using it, and found this link about accounting software in 2021 https://www.how2shout.com/tools/10-best-open-source-accounting-software-in-2020.html *It is seriously flawed in what it says about GnuCssh* - apparently it is written in C and available for Linux, GNU, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows, macOS, and Unix like platforms. So I take what that article says with a pinch of salt - a Google suggests that;' only an English expression, but it means to be sceptical of it.
