The request is the ability to create quotes from Project Groups. When the clients send a project with multiple source languages and create single projects, combine them in a Project Group and should be able to create a quote/cost overview of the project group.
The request is based on two scenarios:
- Possibility to quote at the project level and see a summary at the Project Group level of all the Project quotes together. This is helpful with monthly projects, studies, etc and the projects are in themselves the specific client requests, but the client to see all the costs together.
This would have two views:
- Everything is summed (all TD lines are summed for one TD additional cost, all word costs are summed by band per language for a total, etc)
-
Each project shows as its own the Project Group quote (like a request in a PA in Atlas/Pegasus, or a component in a Quote in AURORA)
- The ability to quote all projects in a group together as one quote. This is helpful when a CMS creates multiple projects (generally one per language) and the Project Group represents the actual project request for the client. Doing the quoting at the group level would be significantly more efficient than opening each project to quote as well.
- This would require all quoting functionality from the Project at the group level, including the ability to update the quote mid-project all custom quote template updates that have been made, etc.
- Using this method means that settings for minimum surcharges or discounts might change if a language is across multiple projects.
