provideQuote() is a SOAP operation that may be optionally implemented as part of our LIXI Quote Process.

If the valuation firm decides to provide a quote, the following SOAP operation should be called:

int provideQuote(string valuationMessage)

We parse required data from the following locations in the LIXI workflow message (valuationMessage).

• Quote comments: //WorkFlow[@Type="FeeNegotiation" and @FeeNegotiationStatus="Requested"]/Comment
• Fee amount: //WorkFlow[@Type="FeeNegotiation" and @FeeNegotiationStatus="Requested"]/@NewFeeAmount

  This amount should exclude GST.

• We will parse the estimated turnaround time (in days) as:

  //WorkFlow[@Type="FeeNegotiation" and @FeeNegotiationStatus="Requested"]/ExpectedValuationDate/Date subtracted by /ValuationTransaction/Date

  (This is basically, "now" minus expected date.)

We also expect:

• ValEx VXJ Identifier (VPMAssigned)
• ValuationTransaction/Message/MessageBody/Status/@Name = Inquiring
• //Workflow[@Type="FeeNegotiation"]/@FeeNegotiationStatus = Rejected
