AUTOMATIC BARCODE PRINTING SUPPLY PRICE QUOTE SYSTEM AND METHOD

A system and method are shown for automatically providing price quotes for various barcode printing supply products. The system displays a default quote when a new quote is to be provided. The default quote identifies default values for a number of variables defining a default barcode printing supply product; at least one default quantity value and a price for the specified quantity of the default product. To obtain a price quote on a new product the user need only change the variable values that distinguish the new product form the default product. Further, the system stores a set of allowable options in association with each of a number of the user selectable variable values. When one of these variable values is selected, the system automatically updates the values of other variables on the display in accordance with the allowable option set of the one variable value. The system also allows the quoted price to be deviated by various amounts depending upon the reason for the price deviation request.
