Well, one of our client came with a requirement that, he has some business process which revolves around Quote entity. So we need to incorporate by enabling workflow. For this, we moved to Administration | Advanced Customization | Workflow and created Quotes Workflow. Then at the time of creating workflow rules we came to know that, Quotes Table is not available in the Table selection as displayed in below screenshot.

So, to enable the same we followed below steps:
1. Updated the metadata table “Custom_SysParams” with the help of below query.
update Custom_SysParams set parm_value=’Y’ where Parm_Name=’AllowWorkflowForQA’
2. Gave metadata refresh by navigating to Administration -> System -> Metadata.
After following above steps, we were able to select Quotes table option from Table Selection field as displayed in below screenshot.
