Is there any way to increment a quotation number? I assume not since an I
believe an invoice only gets a number when posted.

I think I will probably need to dig into the CSS as I will not generally
want a total on a quotation. Typically I sell something which has a lot of
optional extras. The chances of any customer wanting every single option is
pretty remote, so I would not want to frighten them with a huge amount.
Some options are mutually exclusive too. I would rather put all options on
a quotation and let the customer actually tell me what they want.

I am really puzzled why GnuCash doesn’t handle quotations a bit more
gracefully. It’s a feature that I have seen many people ask for, and it is
a feature of almost every bit of accounting software I can find.

Dave.
