# Create alternatives

> How to create a quote alternative with CRMScript.

## NSQuoteAlternative CreateDefaultQuoteAlternative()

Creates an alternative with default values.

```crmscript theme={null}
NSQuoteAgent qa;
NSQuoteAlternative alt = qa.CreateDefaultQuoteAlternative();
alt.SetName("plan a");
alt.SetQuoteVersionId(1);

// add quote lines

alt = qa.SaveQuoteAlternative(alt);
```

## NSQuoteAlternative CreateQuoteAlternative(Integer quoteVersionId, String quoteAlternativeName, String quoteAlternativeDescription)

Creates an alternative for a specific version.

```crmscript theme={null}
NSQuoteAgent qa;
NSQuoteAlternative alt = qa.CreateQuoteAlternative(1,"plan b","optimized for home office");

// add quote lines

alt = qa.SaveQuoteAlternative(alt);
```

## NSQuoteAlternative CopyQuoteAlternative(Integer quoteVersionId, Integer quoteAlternativeId, String quoteAlternativeName)

A variant of `CreateQuoteAlternative()` that clones an alternative into the new one. This is an efficient way of creating multiple alternatives with small variations.

```crmscript theme={null}
NSQuoteAgent qa;
NSQuoteAlternative alt = qa.CopyQuoteAlternative(1, 2,"plan c");

// modify quote lines

alt = qa.SaveQuoteAlternative(alt);
```

## Set alternatives

```crmscript theme={null}
NSQuoteAgent qa;

NSQuoteAlternative[] alternatives;

// populate array

NSQuoteVersion version = qa.GetQuoteVersion(1);
version.SetQuoteAlternatives(alternatives);
qa.SaveQuoteVersion(1);
```
