  25.

You can back out of the order, look up that quote, convert that quote to an order and proceed, or you can continue in order entry with the order. However, if you do not go back afterwards and cancel the quote, every time that one part number is entered in that specific account, the message will come up telling you that it is still on a quote. • **Refer to http://dstdocs.sitemax.com/param_35_9.asp for instructions on turning this message off.
