Hi, there,

I'm new to Drupal, however I decided to use it for my business website.

I'd like to develop/use a quotation module for online shopping. I wondered if anyone had done this before or already been working on it. I feel it should have some link with the e-commerce module, as at least the payment module will be used.

The requirements and the functions are,

- There is a quotation request page based on a form.
-- This page will be controlled by a user login and then the request is assigned to this user.
-- Q: any way to allow the adminstrator, instead of the developer(like me), to design the contents of such page?
-- This form should allow the user to upload his/her design files.

- The requst information will be presented to the adminsitrator, and administrator fills a quotation form which replys to the request user.
-- A unique quotation number will be assigned automatically. This number should contain encrypted digits so that 1) an error can be detect when there is a typo 2) provent one user from probing another user's quotation.
-- Q: any way to allow the adminstrator, instead of the developer, to design the contents of such a page?
-- When the quotation is created, an email will be sent to the request user automatically.
-- The quotation will be place in a quotation product database (table) for a specific period.

- The quotation can be purchased by any one, even a non-login user, with the quotation number. This helps the purchase by a large organization who has a rigid procedure for ordering.
-- Several quotations can be ordered at same time.
-- Q: Will this kind of checking out cause a secuirty problem? such as credit card fraudulence?
-- Q: How to link it with the payment module?

- Emails will be sent to the request user with updated quotation status, for example, regarding payment, shipping, and etc.

cheers

David
