The Sales part of the player application is used to sell products to customers. For each product, you are able to view the number of RFQs that have been received. By clicking on the cell directly beneath a product type, you are able to view these RFQs and to decide whether to delete them or to send a quote.

When you respond to a quote, the RFQ automatically goes into negotiation by the customer, and appears as an entry in the "in negotiation" box. If the customer accepts your quote, it appears in the "orders to confirm" box. You can then review the order, and decide to finally accept it.

If the customer does not accept your quote and selects another supplier, it will eventually disappear from your "in negotiation box". You will not be notified separately about this.

When you confirm an order, the date at which the customer is supposed to receive the products is scheduled on the calendar, as illustrated in the figure (10 Linux computers scheduled to be delivered in the week of September 4th, and 7 computers for the week thereafter). When you do not meet the proposed delivery date, a fine has to be paid to the customer.

The "delivered to customers" box provides an insight into the orders that have already been delivered.

The bottom line of cells of the panel provides an insight into the invoices that are not yet paid by customers. Payment by your customers will take place automatically -- you do not have to take a specific action.
