Create amendment quotes or renewal quotes

The Quote Studio page provides several advanced features, which allows you to easily customize the quoting flow and optimize user experiences.

To create an amendment or renewal subscription quote with the Quote Studio page, you can leverage one of the following approaches:

Create amendment quotes or renewal quotes using New Quote (New) button

Prerequisites

  • The New Quote (New) button has been added to the Opportunity Detail or Account Detail page. See Configure Opportunity, Account, and Quote page layouts for more information.
  • Ensure that you are on a Zuora Quotes version 10.0.
  • Ensure that the Zuora 360 package is set up in your Salesforce org. It is a requirement to create amendment or renewal quotes through the New Quote (New) button.

Procedure

Take the following steps to create an amendment or renewal quote using the New Quote (New) button:

  1. In your Salesforce org, navigate to the Account Detail page of an account or the Opportunity Detail page of an opportunity.
  2. Click the New Quote (New) button. 
  3. In the area of Step 1: Select a Billing Account, select a billing account from the table. After a billing account is selected, all subscriptions associated with this account are displayed in the Step 2: Select a Subscription area.
  4. Hover over the subscription you want to amend or renew in the area of Step 2: Select a Subscription. The Amend icon_amend  and Renew icon_renew  icons are displayed.
  5. Click the Amend icon_amend or Renew icon_renew icon. The system will fetch subscription products from Zuora in the background, and load products to the amendment or renewal quote once the process is complete.
    When you amend or renew a subscription, the value of the Quote Name field is automatically generated based on the following rule:
    • For amendment quotes, the generated name is in the format of Amendment Quote for followed by the subscription name.
    • For renewal quotes, the name is in the format of Renewal Quote for followed by the subscription name.
    We recommend that you change the quote name when the amendment or renewal quote is loaded on the Quote Studio page.
  6. Configure quote information and submit the configuration upon completion. See Configure quote information on Quote Studio page for instructions.

During amendment or renewal quote processes, you cannot perform simultaneous updates to "Billing Period Alignment" field and other metric fields. This capability remains exclusive to the new quote creation flow.
