I thought the document number was assigned on creation, but I'd have to verify. (you can't delete an invoice for example, and you'd have to change the number to something like 'use next' if you made an error creating it)

Of course, that would mean you get the same number for the invoice as the quotation unless you Edit Invoice. (you might set an auto-increment to append 'Q' for quote for example, and then edit out the 'Q' before posting)

I'm not certain you can remove the total entirely, but CSS should allow you to hide it.

The Business Features originally were created by a dev for their own limited use case. Some UI improvements and bug fixes have been made over the years, but the functionality hasn't really been expanded much for some time. (I think Credit Notes being added was the last major change and that was way back in 2.4.x or early 2.6.x)

I think I will probably need to dig into the CSS as I will not generally
want a total on a quotation. Typically I sell something which has a lot of
optional extras. The chances of any customer wanting every single option is
pretty remote, so I would not want to frighten them with a huge amount.
Some options are mutually exclusive too. I would rather put all options on
a quotation and let the customer actually tell me what they want.

I am really puzzled why GnuCash doesn’t handle quotations a bit more
gracefully. It’s a feature that I have seen many people ask for, and it is
a feature of almost every bit of accounting software I can find.
