Create Custom New Quote Button for specific Recordtype

Question

I need a new custom button for creating Quote for specific Recordtype under Opportunities

the URL from the standard button is

the url that is produced by salesforce standard button is https://eu2.salesforce.com/0Q0/e?retURL=%2F006b000000Dhc0W&oppid=006b000000Dhc0W&RecordType=012b0000000UV7U&ent=Quote

but when I converted the URL at button level became like that: /0Q0/e?retURL={!Opportunity.Id}&oppid={!Opportunity.Id}&RecordType=012b0000000UV7U&ent=Quote

So when I click on the button I get the message "Error saving Quote" and when i click on Preview button at the button design form I get the error message

"Insufficient Privileges"

It seems that something is not correct at the URL hacking level, please advise.

Answer 1

The generated URL includes escaped & character as & and that is causing your URL to break. You will need to configure your button URL to use & only instead of &:

/0Q0/e?retURL={!Opportunity.Id}&oppid={!Opportunity.Id}&RecordType=012b0000000UV7U&ent=Quote

Answer 2

Make sure you have the object recordType available in your profile.. you might have a syntax error..
But my best approach with URL Hacks is to break the URL into chunks...
Something like this should work :

{!URLFOR('/0Q0/e?' + 
         '&retURL=/a09?' + Opportunity.Id +
         '&RecordType=012b0000000UV7U'+ 
         '&ent=Quote' +
         '&oppid=' + Opportunity.Id
     )}

Answer 3

please find attached the screenshot from the custom button opportunity entity which creates a new Quote

the URL is /0Q0/e?retURL={!Opportunity.Id}&oppid={!Opportunity.Id}&RecordType=012b0000000UV7U&ent=Quote

even if I delete the recordtype still get the error "Erros saving the quote"

Can someone reproduce this in development environment for the standards objects Opportunity and Quote?

thanks
