The complementary quote

A complementary quote comes afterwards: following a quote already sent or accepted, or a project already invoiced. TAYO.pro creates a new, independent project for this extra work.

It is usually an additional proposal, non-blocking for the existing work order and quote: those follow their normal course, whether the complementary one is accepted or not.

When no more quotes can be added to the project, the Quotes card replaces its + with a note and a Complementary quote button. The note says why:

  • “A quote has already been sent. Edit it to correct it or add variants; for additional work, send a complementary quote.”
  • “A quote has already been accepted. Additional work goes on a complementary quote.”
  • “Invoicing has started: no quote can be sent on this order anymore.”

Click Complementary quote and confirm. TAYO.pro carries over the client, the job site, the locations and the tag, and prefills the description:

Complementary quote — following order 1983

The wizard opens straight on the Quote step: all that is left is to enter the amount, attach your PDF and send. The steps are those of a spontaneous quote.

Because it has already been sent, or even accepted. Changing it afterwards muddles the tracking: the property manager approved an amount, and it must stay as it is.

A complementary quote keeps the two amounts separate and traceable. If there is a discussion later, you can clearly see what was planned and what was added.

If the original quote is only Sent and you want to correct it — an amount, a variant —, edit it instead: see Correct a sent quote.

The same principle exists for invoices. Once a project’s final invoice has gone out, the Invoices card shows “This project has already been invoiced: no further invoice can be added.” and a Complementary invoice button, with the prefilled description “Complementary invoice — following order …”. See Send a spontaneous invoice.

  • Prefilling is part of the PLUS plan. With the BASIC plan, the button shows a padlock and offers Create from scratch: you create a spontaneous quote and enter the client and the job site yourself — for your Tayo clients only.
  • The button does not appear on a project in New request, Awaiting approval, Request declined or Canceled.
  • Other work, unrelated to this work order: that is a spontaneous quote.
