Gauge, operations and finish on each part
16 ga 304, laser cut, six bends, TIG-welded corners, #4 brushed: fields under each part line explain the price, and show what a cheaper competitor's quote is missing.

What a sheet metal quote needs to get right
Fabrication buyers check a quote against the drawing. With gauge, bends, welds and finish right on the line, they can tell you quoted the same part they drew.
Fixtures and programming as one-time charges
Nesting, brake programs, first articles and weld fixtures get their own section. The part price stands for repeat orders, and the buyer knows what they won't be paying for again.
Price breaks for the next order
Show each part at four quantities, or set price tiers on it. A buyer asking for 60 will often move up to 120 once they see how spreading the setup brings the unit price down.
Tolerances and surcharges spelled out
The tolerance standard, mill certs, stainless surcharges and the overrun allowance are saved terms included on every quote.
Hardware and finishing on the line
PEM studs, powder coat, passivation: list them as fields or as separately priced lines, so a finish change is recosted by editing a single line.
PO or signature, then the invoice
The buyer issues a PO referencing the quote number, or signs the quote. When the parts ship, the quote converts into the invoice in one click.
Worked example
Anatomy of an actual sheet metal quote
This is an actual three-page ExtraflowDoc quote from a sheet metal job shop in Cincinnati to a food equipment manufacturer: welded stainless enclosures, access panels with pressed-in studs and powder-coated brackets, for $13,088.00. Fabrication buyers go through gauge, operations and finish one line at a time, and the quote is organized the same way.
Page 1 — the RFQ on one row, then each part
One row connects the quote to the RFQ, the drawing revisions, the ship date and the terms. Each part follows with gauge and material, operations and finish as fields: the enclosure at $148.00 apiece is 16 ga 304 stainless, laser cut, bent six times on the brake and TIG welded. Parts add up to $11,868.00.
Page 2 — one-time charges, price breaks and assumptions
Programming, flat patterns, first articles and a weld fixture are one-time charges, $1,070.00, kept separate from the part prices. A table lists each part at 30, 60, 120 and 240 pieces, and the assumptions spell out the tolerance standard, the certificates included and the exclusions.
Page 3 — how the enclosure is built, terms and acceptance
Four steps (cut, form, weld, inspect) lay out the route each enclosure takes through the shop. The terms cover how stainless surcharges are verified and how overruns are billed, and the buyer can accept with a signature or a PO.

Quote from the RFQ that's already in your CRM
ExtraflowDoc installs into Pipedrive and monday.com, so you build the quote on the deal or item the RFQ created, right beside the drawings and the buyer's emails.
Fabrication quotes in Pipedrive
Open ExtraflowDoc from the deal. The buyer and custom fields like RFQ number, material or due date fill in the quote, and standard parts pull from your product catalogue with their price tiers.
Fabrication quotes in monday.com
If your jobs live on a monday.com board, build the quote from the item. Columns like part number, gauge and quantity fill in the document, and the quote is saved back to the job.

FAQ
Sheet metal fabrication quoting software: common questions
Including what ExtraflowDoc doesn't do.
What is sheet metal quoting software?
It's software that turns an RFQ into a quote the buyer can check against the drawing: each part with its gauge, operations and finish, plus one-time charges, price breaks and terms. ExtraflowDoc does it inside Pipedrive or monday.com, from the deal or item the RFQ created.
Does it unfold or nest parts from CAD?
No. ExtraflowDoc does not read DXF or STEP files, unfold bends, nest parts on a sheet or calculate laser time. Keep using your CAM and nesting software for that, then quote the result in ExtraflowDoc.
Can I show the operations on each part?
Yes. Add fields under each part line, like operations and finish, or a short table or step section that explains how the part is made, the way the example on this page does.
Can I keep fixtures and programming out of the part price?
Yes. Put them in a one-time charges section with its own subtotal, and note on each line that it isn't charged again on repeat orders.
Is it shop management or ERP software?
No. It does not schedule work centres, track jobs through the shop or manage inventory. It creates and tracks the documents: quotes, purchase orders, packing slips and invoices.
Can I see my margin by part?
Yes. Enter material and shop cost, then add a markup or target margin per line. The document details show cost, profit and margin to your team only; internal columns never print.
Can I quote export customers in other currencies?
Yes. Pick the currency and number format the customer pays in, and apply or skip taxes per line or on the whole quote.
Is there a free plan for a small fab shop?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 documents a month with unlimited users. Once RFQs pick up, paid plans start at $20.69/month for 20 documents.
