Create quote
Save a draft quote for a contact. Nothing is sent.
MCP tool lexware_office_write → create_quotation
write
Saves a quote (Angebot) as a draft. It has no number yet, reaches no customer and is deleted with one call in the app, so it does not ask for your OK. Returns the totals so you can read them before finalize_document.
