User Tips: Adding Multiple Products (Package) to a Quote v2.0 (with Client Script)

User Tips: Adding Multiple Products (Package) to a Quote v2.0 (with Client Script)

This solution is an improvement on the original idea which used deluge. My solution was posted in the comments are: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/adding-multiple-products-package-to-a-quote

The updated version uses client script instead of deluge.

Hopefully this might help a few people. It helps our reps speed up the process of creating quotes and quoting accurately.

Details below:


Problem:

We run numerous manufacturer promotions with various bundled items and discounts. Reps struggle to remember all details, leading to incorrect discounts on quotes.


Solution

I created a custom module for Product Packages. For each promotion, we create a "Package" including all products, discounts, and start/end dates. A quote lookup field allows users to select a package, automatically adding the related products with accurate pricing and information.

When a user selects a package, a client script retrieves all related products and discounts, adding them to the quote. The lookup field is then reset for additional product entries.

Some fields on the package layout include:

  1. Promotion type
  2. Status
  3. Start / End dates for the promotion. 
  4. Pop-up message field if we want to show the rep a message when quoting the package

I also have a workflow that sets the package to “Expired” when the record expiration date hits. The lookup is filtered in the quotes module to only show “Active” packages.

In Action (with lookup field to the package module):



The Setup:
Create a custom module “Package Items”. Add the fields as below. 



Additional Info
1. I also use client script to hide the “Auto-Quote” field when in a standard view page
2. When I name a package, a deluge script runs to append the Package ID number which is an auto-number field.


The Code: 

  1. try {
    // List of funny loading messages
    var loadingMessages = [
    "Cranking up the quote machine...",
    "One sec... just stepped out for coffee.",
    "Hold tight! The hamsters are running the wheels.",
    "Almost there... giving it a little extra attention.",
    "Loading... probably faster than your internet speed.",
    "Please hold while we make magic happen.",
    "Just a moment... our servers are stretching their legs.",
    "Your patience is appreciated... and rewarded!",
    "Brewing up your quote right now...",
    "Give us a second... we're flexing our technical muscles.",
    "Our system is doing some yoga... stay calm!",
    "Loading... don't worry, it's not stuck!",
    "Fetching your data... hopefully with no detours!",
    "Keep calm and let us handle the rest.",
    "Processing... taking a coffee break, be right back!",
    "Stay tuned... greatness is loading.",
    "Our system is running... faster than a cheetah!",
    "Looks like you're going all in on this quote!",
    "Getting things ready... just need a moment.",
    "Hold on... we're aligning some stars for you.",
    "Please wait... we're feeding the server squirrels.",
    "One moment... your quote is coming fresh out of the oven.",
    "Loading... just making sure everything is perfect!",
    "Generating your quote... thanks for your patience!",
    "Almost there... your quote is worth the wait!"
    ];

    // Select a random message from the list
    var randomMessage = loadingMessages[Math.floor(Math.random() * loadingMessages.length)];

    // Log the entire value object to see its structure
    log("Full value object: " + JSON.stringify(value));

    // Ensure value.id is defined before proceeding
    if (!value || !value.id) {
