Once you receive the quote from the Plunet system, get the approval from your manager, and you can proceed to place the actual translation order by writing an email to MT5 team in TRUMPF with the approved quote. The MT5 team will then create the order in Plunet and coordinate with the translation agency to get the work done. Make sure to provide all necessary details and the approved quote in your email to avoid any delays in processing the order.
