After you have selected a contact from Autotask and pulled their contact information into the Sold to/ Ship to tab, the go to contact icon and go to company icon will be available. When you click on these buttons, the currently selected contact or company on the Sold to/ Ship to Tab will open Autotask and display the full account details.

Creating a Contact in Autotask from the Sold to / Ship to Tab

Under the Sold to / Ship to tab you can use the icon to create a new account and contact inside of Autotask. The Company Name, Contact Name, and Phone number fields are required in order to use this feature. Once you have filled out these fields manually, the gold button will be enabled. If the company already exists in Autotask, QuoteWerks will tell you it currently exists and will NOT create the contact in Autotask. Only if that Account does not exist will this feature then create the contact.

Keep in mind that for this feature to be enabled:

•the Sold to section can't already be populated with a contact you retrieved from your CRM

•the Company, Contact, and Phone fields must both be populated

There's also an Access Right called CannotCreateCRMContact you can set if you don't want specific users to be able to use this feature.
