# Quotes

A quote is our reply to a sourcing request: the products we found, their prices for your quantities, and the ways we can ship them. Your quotes are under **Quotes**. A quote that's waiting for you also shows under **Needs your attention** on **Home** and in your **To do** list, and you get a notification when we send it.

## Your quotes

**Your quotes** lists each quote with the day we issued it, **Valid until**, how many products it has, the goods subtotal and its status:

| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| **Awaiting your decision** | Accept or decline it before it expires. |
| **Being updated** | Your account manager is preparing a new version. You can't decide on this one. |
| **Replaced by a newer version** | We've sent a newer version; the quote links to it. |
| **Accepted** | You accepted it. |
| **Declined** | You declined it. |
| **Expired** | It wasn't accepted or declined in time. |

## Read a quote

A quote shows:

- the day we issued it, **Valid until**, the destination and our notes;
- each product with our SKU, your SKU if you gave one, the quantity, the unit price and the amount, and the goods subtotal;
- **Shipping options**: the ways we can ship the goods to the destination, with the transit time, the shipping cost and the total with the goods. Where the price depends on the postcode, it's shown as a range.

Amounts are in US dollars. A quote is valid until the end of its **Valid until** day, China Standard Time (GMT+8).

## Accept a quote

Under **Your decision**, click **Accept quote**. Accepting:

- accepts the whole quote;
- makes its prices your agreed prices: each product goes into **My products** at this price, replacing any earlier agreed price for it, and you can reorder it later (see [Sourcing and reorder requests](https://docs.rephut.com/sourcing/requests#reorder-request));
- marks the request **Completed**.

Accepting doesn't charge your wallet and doesn't place an order by itself. Your account manager then creates a purchase order for the goods. It appears under **Purchase orders** and in your **To do** list, and you pay it there: see [Purchase orders](https://docs.rephut.com/sourcing/purchase-orders#pay-a-purchase-order).

## Decline a quote

Tell us what should change in **What should we change? (optional)**, and click **Decline quote**. Your feedback stays on the quote, the request goes back to **In progress**, and your account manager can send you a new version.

## Expired and updated quotes

You can only decide on the latest version of a quote, while it's **Awaiting your decision**. Otherwise the page says "This quote can no longer be accepted or declined. It may have expired or been updated. Please refresh the page."

An expired quote can't be accepted. If you still want the goods, ask your account manager for a new version: contact your account manager.
