# About quotes

When a customer is ready to move forward with an [opportunity](/docs/about-opportunities), sales representatives convert it into a quote, marking the next step in the sales cycle. Quotes include [line items](/docs/manage-line-items) that specify the products that a customer wants to buy, and automatically calculate prices based on the product configuration and quantities.

- Advanced activity management
