Feature Request: Auto-populate Bill To and Sold To contact fields in Salesforce when creating New Quote

Status: under evaluation

Reference Number: DE10671

Business Need: Since Bill To / Sold To contact have been identified at the early stages of the account creation process, these fields are requested to be auto-populate with those details in new Z-Quote VisualForce page and at the same time retain the ability to change these details when needed.

I don't want to have to re-create your VF page.

Are there workarounds? Can I set Bill-To and Ship-To based on a contact ID that I specify?

How do you determine who on the account should be bill-to and sold-to?

i.e. if an account has 5 contacts, which one should the quote auto-populate?

In general you would be interested in the Default Value Plugin:

This is used to populate Quote fields programatically. In the example above, it uses the simplistic approach of assigning the first contact on the account to the bill-to and sold-to (this works well if you have many accounts with a single contact)

This logic could be extended to match whichever logic you need for auto-selecting the bill-to / sold-to
