In this activity, you define transaction filters for item proposals that use the items from previous sales orders (or quotations).
Path:
Customer Relationship Management > Transactions > Settings for Sales Transactions > Product Proposals in Quotations and Orders > Past Orders > Define Transaction Filter
When the system puts together item proposals from previous sales orders, it takes into account only those transactions types and item object types that were specified in the transaction filter.
To transfer the quantities from previous orders to the item proposals, you must specify how the quantities should be calculated, in the column +/- Sign. All order quantities normally receive the sign "+". Returns items should receive the sign "-",

In the field Proposed Quantity, you can set whether the system also proposes order quantities for the proposed items, and how it calculates these proposed quantities.
In the group box Display Proposals you can determine how the item proposals are displayed in the sales order.
For Product proposal to be called, it should be linked to the transactions type.
