Deleting a Quote

To delete a quote, select it by checking the check box next to it in the Quotes List (Assignments > Quotes) and click Delete. You can delete only quotes that have been abandoned (that is, their status is Abandoned). If you try to delete a quote that has another status, you get a message like the following:
Please select only abandoned Quotes. Currently were found 1 non-abandoned Quote(s).
If a quote is referenced by any other object in WorldServer, the quote will be disabled instead of deleted. Note the following differences:
  • A disabled quote does not appear in quote selection lists, for example, you cannot select a disabled quote when creating a new project.

    To prevent WorldServer processes (like workflow tasks) from getting into an invalid state when one of the objects it is processing is deleted, WorldServer keeps the object in the database, but removes it from view. Essentially, the object has been disabled from further use, but is still available to running (or scheduled) processes.

  • A deleted quote does not appear anywhere in the system.
