We discussed with @xatoo, that there can be an additional "Quote request processing" or similar status, and the existing statuses could be divided into "Quote request" and "Quote" states. The discussion took place here: #1326212-31: Let customers build a "quote" cart and request a quote instead of checkout

The proposed state-status arrangement:

  • Quote request (quote_request):
    • Request for quotation (request_for_quotation)
    • Quote processing (quote_request_processing)
    • Processed quote request (quote_request_processed)
  • Quote (quote):
    • Quotation response (quotation_response)
  • Canceled (canceled, provided by Drupal Commerce):
    • Canceled quote (canceled_quote)

The status naming could also be unified (eg. "quote/quotation", "quote"/"quote request"), if everybody agrees.
I welcome any comments on these ideas.

Title: Tidy up quote order statuses and separate them into two states: "Quote request" and "Quote" » Review quote order statuses and separate them into two states: "Quote request" and "Quote"

I attached a preliminary patch with the new states and statuses, but I haven't renamed any existing status.
Modified the title wording to better describe the issue.

Hi,
Is this Commerce Quotes project going on ? Where to download and test ? I truly love the concept and workflow as described on the project page. Thanks

hopefully this project will be revived, the illustrated concepts on the project page seem too good to be true. Thanks
