Before you start

Check that you have the following ready.
  • Claude or Codex is connected to Sanka
  • The customer, items, and prices are registered in Sanka
  • You have permission to create, review, and send quotes
  • Your team has approval rules for discounts, large amounts, and exception terms
If deal context is not ready yet, start with Deal management.

1. Ask AI to draft the quote

Open a new chat in Claude or Codex and paste this prompt:
Sample prompt

2. Review items, quantities, and amount

After the AI prepares the draft, review the quote in Sanka.
  • Customer: Green Salon Group
  • Items: Professional Hair Dryer HD-200, Retail Hair Brush HB-40
  • Quantities: 12 units, 24 units
  • Amounts: Unit price, tax, and total
  • Terms: Delivery date, payment due date, and notes
If you are unsure about the amount or quantity, ask the AI to list the items that need review before creating the quote.

3. Check whether approval is needed

Higher-value quotes or discounted quotes may need approval.
Sample prompt
/sanka Review this quote for approval needs. Check discount, margin, inventory, and payment terms, then list any issues before sending.
Review the AI's findings and route the quote for approval if your team rule requires it.

4. Send the quote

If the quote details and approvals look correct, send the quote to the customer. Before sending, confirm recipient, amount, delivery timing, payment terms, and notes one more time. After the customer agrees, continue to Quote → order.
