Clone Existing Quotes

The CPQ-Web homepage and Quote details page include a Clone feature that allows you to duplicate existing quotes easily. This feature helps streamline the quoting process by creating an identical copy of a quote, saving time, and reducing manual effort.

The ability to clone quotes is controlled through action permissions. Only users with the Clone action permission assigned in the permission settings can access this feature. To grant a user permission to clone quotes, Navigate to the User Profile Management section. Locate the Action Permissions settings and ensure the Clone permission is enabled for the intended users. For more details on managing user permissions,see User Profile Management.

You can clone the existing quote using the Clone Quotebutton on the Quote detail pae. Cloning a quote copies all the information from the existing quote, including line items and quote header information. You can clone a quote when you need multiple draft options of the same quote or need to make changes (for example, extend the quote expiry date) to a finalized quote before sending it out to the customer.

You can clone a quote in the following product configuration statuses:

  • Pending Approval
  • Ready for Finalize
  • Approval Required
  • Saved
  • Finalized

The new cloned quote retains the information based on the product configuration status. The following table lists the information copied upon cloning the quote:

Product Configuration Status

Information Retained in the Cloned Quote

All statuses

  • Proposal header details
  • Configuration Line Items

The clone feature does not retain documents from the parent quote.

Cloning Existing Quotes

You can clone the existing quotes from the quote details page and quotes list page. To clone an existing quote
  1. On the Quotes details page, click the Clone Quote button. Or On the quotes list page, click vertical ellipsis next to the quote number and click Clone Quote. A cloned quote is created with the default name format: "Clone-[existing quote name]". To update the naming format, see Updating Clone Quote's Naming Format.
  2. Click the Edit icon and make necessary changes in the cloned quote, if required, and click Save.

    When you clone a quote with its line items, a new quote is generated whose Status is Draft, and Product Configurations status is Saved.

    If an approval trigger is set on the existing quote, the approval status and trigger are not copied to the cloned quote. You must re-trigger approval on the cloned quote. You can use the custom setting Clone With Approval to alter the approval status of a cloned quote. For information, seeClone a Quote with Its Existing Configuration .

Updating Clone Quote's Naming Format

When you clone a quote, a cloned quote is created with the default naming format: "Clone-[existing quote name]". CPQ allows you to update this format based on your business requirements.
  1. Go to Update a Configuration API.
  2. Enter the parameters as mentioned below.
    "Category": "clonespec", "Name": "proposal", "Value": "{\"ObjectName\":\"Proposal\", \"OverrideFields\":{\"ProposalName\":\"{\\u0022Template\\u0022:\\u0022Clone-{0}\\u0022,\\u0022ObjectFields\\u0022:[\\u0022ProposalName\\u0022]}\", \"ApprovalStage\":\"Draft\",\"ApprovalStatus\":\"Not Submitted\"}}"
    The term Clone in the Template field indicates the term added to cloned quote name.
  3. Replace Clone in the Template field with your preferred term and execute the API to apply configuration changes.
