Many organizations have the business practice when they issue a sales quote to a customer they wish to be able to reserve that inventory against the sales quote. A nice enhancement would be to extend the inventory allocation functionality to include sales quotes.

Another way of accomplishing this is to use the manual hold feature within Sales orders. Make sure you hold code allows allocation. the order will not be processed and the stock will be reserved. You should also identify a business process for evaluating and cancelling these after a period of time.
Note: Depending on MRP parameters, these "quotes"/"held orders" may be recognized as demand when calculating replenishment.
