Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9962010A1] The present invention relates to a system and method for preparing quotes for multi-component apparatus and their components, such as computer equipment. Generally, quotes for computer equipment are prepared by hand. This is very difficult and time consuming and if the price of a component changes (which it generally does quite quickly in the volatile computer equipment market) quotes will become out of date very quickly. The present invention provides a processing system which facilitates the preparation of quotes and which automatically flags quotes, in response to changing input data, such as price and availability of components, so that the user (salesman) is alerted that the quote has changed.
