Practical answers
Manufacturing Companies FAQs
Can manufacturing quotes include quantity price breaks?
Yes. Quantities, unit prices, setup, tooling, minimums, options, and commercial terms can be presented in a structured quote.
Can drawing revisions be referenced?
A proposal can identify the customer-provided specification or drawing revision, but engineering and document-control systems should remain authoritative.
Does FormEsque replace ERP or MRP software?
No. It supports customer-facing quote and document workflow, not BOMs, routings, inventory, planning, quality, production, shipping, or financial control.
