You can find the list of received offers on the workspace in the "Purchasing" module, or via the top menu Purchase – Received Offers.
__________________________________________________________________
Toolbar Functions
The document list has a top toolbar with function buttons and filter drop-downs. Both are used to quickly launch frequently used functions and apply selections.
__________________________________________________________________
"Links" Function
Links between individual documents are created when documents are generated and updated.
Since a received inquiry can be the very first document in the entire business cycle chain, navigating through all links will illustrate how an entire business case is connected. Due to the complexity of all links, you will always see the "neighboring" link to the nearest document, from which you can "advance" to the next document.
Received Inquiries
Issued Offers
Received Orders
Goods Issues
Issued Invoices
Issued Inquiries
Received Offers
Issued Orders
Goods Receipts
Received Invoices
The application displays a list of all documents that are "linked" to the current document (the one where the cursor is positioned). Double-clicking a linked document displays another list containing the required document. A further double-click opens the document window. In this way, you can view the entire history of a document.
Example of how ABRA Flexi maintains links between documents:
First, you record a customer inquiry.
Based on it, you create your offer (or several variants).
You then receive the customer's order from the customer.
To fulfill it, you send inquiries to your suppliers.
Based on the most favorable received offers from suppliers, you place orders by creating issued orders.
Goods delivered by suppliers will be accompanied by received invoices, which will be linked to several goods receipts after the items are stocked.
It is time to deliver the goods to the customer: warehouse goods issues are linked to the issued invoice.
The issued invoice is later settled via banking. If invoices are in a foreign currency, exchange rate differences may arise, or documents may be revalued when payment is made in the following year.
When viewing any document in the middle of the described chain, you can use the Links function to navigate through the chain and view related documents. This ABRA Flexi feature makes it easier to search for and review documents.
__________________________________________________________________
"Services" Function
Services Function – Company Summary Information
When creating or updating a document, it is sometimes important to obtain information about the "financial relationship" you have with a business partner, so you can choose an appropriate response or course of action when creating further documents.
The application displays the company card with the Summary Information tab:
The first column of the tab displays invoicing and payment behavior data: Total invoiced, Unpaid, Paid after due date, Average payment delay in days, Invoicing limit, Defined payment terms.
The second column shows all incomplete and non-cancelled "commercial" documents: Open received inquiries, Open issued offers, Uninvoiced received orders, Open issued inquiries, Open received offers, Unstocked issued orders.
If you need further information about the company, it is available in the other tabs.
Services Function – Print Current Document
Prints the document currently selected by the cursor. Clicking the button displays a document preview showing how it will look when printed. While viewing the preview, you can change the document language. If the document looks correct, you can print it (the "Printer" button in the top-left corner of the preview), export the print version to standard PDF format (the "PDF/Acrobat" button), or send the document by email (the "Letter" button).
Services Function – Create Issued Order
Selecting this function triggers the generation of issued orders.
Creating an offer, order, or invoice can only be activated for documents that are not in the "Done" or "Cancelled" status.
The created document is opened in a window where the operator can edit the automatically transferred data. The status of the source document is changed to "Done".
__________________________________________________________________
Filter Drop-Downs
Filter drop-downs allow you to easily and quickly filter the displayed documents. Set the filters according to your current needs; the last filter applied will also be used the next time you open the list. You can filter by the following parameters:
Calendar Year (document issue date)
Years are offered in descending order from the next calendar year (based on the computer's date) down to 1990.
Date (document issue date)
For the current accounting period only: Last 7 days, last 35 days, current day, current week, current month.
Always available: 12 calendar months, 4 quarters (in the year of the selected accounting period or the year selected in the filter).
Document Type
Individual document types that have been set up are available for selection.
Status (processing)
Not done, Unspecified, Ready, Approved, Partially issued/received, Issued/received, Partially done, Done, Cancelled.
User
Filter documents that were created by a specific user.
Filter drop-downs offer an unrestricted option as the first item in each list. Each drop-down allows you to select exactly one item; for advanced filtering, use the global filter function.
__________________________________________________________________
"Received Offer" Card
A received offer is another link in the so-called business chain. You can enter it manually or create it from an issued inquiry using the services button. To enter a new received offer, start by clicking the "New" button. Clicking the button will display a blank received offer form.
__________________________________________________________________
Panel 1, "Main" Tab
Document Type
Required field.
Select from the list of document types (the application remembers the last document type entered in a series of documents). The document type determines the behavior of the document and also carries the document's default values.
Internal Number
Read-only field.
The value is automatically filled in after selecting a document series. In the logged-in user's settings, you can predefine "their" document series. This eliminates the prompt asking which series to use, speeds up data entry, and also prevents entering an incorrect series.
Incoming Number
The number of the offer sent to you by the supplier. If the offer was received in another form, you do not need to fill in this value, or you can enter "phone, email, etc."
Issued
Required field.
For the first document in a series, the date is set from the computer's date (provided the entered accounting period matches the current calendar year; otherwise, it is set to the last day of the entered accounting period). For subsequent documents in the series, the date is carried over from the previous document.
Offer Date
The date stated on the written offer or when the verbal offer was made.
DeadlineStatus
Unspecified
The initial status of the offer after it is created. The offer cannot enter further actions and this status is set automatically when the offer is created.
Ready
If approval is required, the offer is ready for further processing. The status is changed by the user.
Approved
The offer is approved for further processing in the form of an order. The status is changed by the user.
Done
The complete offer has been ordered. The status is changed by the user or is set automatically when an order is created by copying the offer.
Status transitions may occur depending on the permissions assigned to the given user. (If the company settings require that the following statuses be observed.)
Description
Enter additional details here to help with orientation in the offer list. This field is not required.

__________________________________________________________________
Panel 2, "Supplier" Tab
Company
You can select a business partner from the Address Book (the following fields will be filled in automatically), or you can enter the partner's details manually (in which case, leave this field blank). You can enter the supplier's abbreviation or company name (or just part of it) and select the desired company from the suggested records. You can also open the company list (using the icon to the right or by pressing F2) and search for the company using filters, edit the supplier you are looking for, or add a completely new record; to select a company from the list, simply double-click its record.
Only companies recorded in the business partners' Address Book that have the value Supplier or Customer/Supplier selected in the Relationship Type field are available.
Name
Enter the exact company name. The field is filled in automatically when a company is selected from the address book; otherwise, fill it in manually.
Note: If you click on the blue underlined Name field label after entering the company name, your web browser will open the search results page in ARES (Administrative Register of Economic Entities) with data from the commercial register, trade register, VAT payer list, etc.
Street
Enter the street of the company's registered address, including the building number, orientation number, or a combination of both.
Note: If you click on the blue underlined Street field label after filling in the City and Street fields, your web browser will open the Mapy.cz portal with a map of the company's address.
City
Enter the name of the city or municipality where the company is registered.
When entering the city name, you can use the autocomplete feature: start typing the name of the city, municipality, or district in the field, and the application will suggest the full name of the city, including any relevant district, and will also fill in the corresponding value in the ZIP Code field.
ZIP Code
Enter the ZIP code of the company's registered address (or the local equivalent for foreign companies). When a valid ZIP code is entered, the City field is filled in automatically. When entering the ZIP code, you can again use the autocomplete feature: start typing the first digits of the ZIP code or the beginning of the city name and the application will suggest possible cities, municipalities, or their districts.
Country
Select the country where the company is registered from the drop-down list. If you selected the city or ZIP code from the autocomplete, the Czech Republic or Slovakia will have been filled in automatically. To speed up the search, you can type the first letters of the country name and the application will move to the first matching country.
Company Registration Number (IČO)
Enter the business partner's company registration number — a unique eight-digit identification number assigned to legal entities, self-employed individuals, or state organizational units by the Czech Statistical Office, commercial register, or trade licensing office (older numbers with fewer digits are padded with leading zeros). If you click on the blue underlined IČO field label when a value for a Czech company is filled in, your web browser will open the ARES (Administrative Register of Economic Entities) search results page for that registration number, showing data from public registers. For a Slovak company, a similar page with search results from the Business Register will be displayed.
VAT Number (DIČ)
Enter the business partner's VAT number if they are a VAT payer. The tax identification number is assigned by the tax authority to every natural or legal person required to pay taxes. The VAT number for legal entities consists of the country code abbreviation followed by the company registration number; for natural persons, it consists of the country code abbreviation followed by their birth number digits.
If you click on the blue underlined DIČ field label when a value for a Czech company is filled in, your web browser will open the search form for registered entities of the Czech Ministry of Finance, where you need to enter the partner's VAT number and click the Search button to display VAT payer information and registration details.

__________________________________________________________________
Panel 4, "Home Currency" Tab
The home currency tab (usually labeled "CZK") provides a financial overview of the entire document and a breakdown of amounts by VAT rate. After the first document line is added, most fields on the tab become read-only and their values are updated with every line change.
For entering a document without lines, amounts are entered directly into the tab fields (except for the tax base total and VAT total). When an amount is changed in any field, the remaining fields are cross-calculated (note, however, that if the VAT amount is changed manually, the row totals will add up correctly but the amounts will not correspond to the percentage VAT rate). For so-called line-free documents, the application automatically creates items of the "Accounting Line" type, the number of which corresponds to the number of VAT rates used (or the entry of amounts for VAT-exempt goods and services). A line-free document is useful, for example, for accounting firms entering a document brought in by a client.
The remainder of the tab consists of fields in three columns:
Base
VAT
Including VAT
The fields are arranged in rows labeled with specific VAT rates:
Exempt (0%)
Reduced rate
2nd reduced rate
Standard rate
Total
Calculation and rounding method for line-free document amounts:
Base
If the base amount is entered first, the corresponding VAT will be calculated precisely.
VAT
If the VAT amount is entered first, the corresponding base will be calculated precisely.
Including VAT
If the amount including VAT is entered first, the corresponding base and VAT will be calculated using a coefficient (for a 21% rate, base = 0.1736 × total; for a 15% rate, base = 0.1304 × total).
The rounding defined for the document type is not applied to line-free documents; the calculation described above is used instead. You can adjust the final amount after calculation as needed.
__________________________________________________________________
Panel 4, "Currency" Tab
Currency
Determines the currency of the document amounts. The default value is the home (domestic) currency entered in Company Settings; if this is kept, the remaining fields on the tab remain unavailable. To create a document in a different currency, select a value from the list of available currencies. Once selected, the remaining fields on the tab will become accessible.
Exchange Rate
The pair of fields allows you to define the exchange rate of the home currency against the selected currency. After a currency is selected, the exchange rate for the document's issue date is downloaded from the internet, but it can be edited or replaced with a custom value. If the exchange rate cannot be retrieved, the home currency field will be highlighted with a colored border and set to 0.00.
The remainder of the tab consists of fields in three columns:
Base
VAT
Including VAT
The fields are arranged in rows labeled with specific VAT rates:
Exempt (0%)
Reduced rate
2nd reduced rate
Standard rate
Total
For so-called line-free documents, values in the fields can be edited, except for the base total and VAT total; the remaining fields are cross-calculated (note that if the VAT amount is changed, the row totals will add up correctly but will not correspond to the percentage VAT rate). For documents with lines, the amount fields are read-only and display values based on the document's entered lines.
