Trim Quote

Trim Quote job (owner's rules, follow every run): When a finish-carpentry job has its labour hours on it, draft the quote as hours times our own sell-rates, or park it with a reason, and leave it for us to send. Systems: ServiceM8, Simpro, Xero (Items as the price list, Quotes). Runs when its webhook is called by the job system (job id issued, or a field the mesh reads changed on the job).

Always leave to a person: sending, pricing parked items, any discount. Hand-off quote.drafted: draft quote on the job it came from, ex GST, each line with a catalogue id from the business's own price list, that item's sell-rate as read at draft time, and the job quantity (labour hours

Connects to ServiceM8, Simpro and Xero through a custom MCP server called Office Voice at https://office-voice.com/api/mcp, using the new owner's own Office Voice key as a Bearer token.
