Quotes and proposals

Build server-calculated quotes and printable proposals.

How it works

When to use it

Useful situations

  • Prepare a customer-facing proposal from structured products and services.
  • Route a quote for review and retain the decision history.
  • Revisit a previously priced offer without losing the terms used at the time.

A working path

How the work moves

  1. Build the commercial offer

    Select the customer and opportunity, add catalogue lines and enter supported quantity, tax and discount details. Review all dates and descriptions with the owner before calculating or sharing the quote.

  2. Check the authoritative totals

    Review server-calculated line and overall amounts, then make any permitted corrections through a new edit or revision. Submit for approval when the policy requires it and keep the requested change clear.

  3. Share and track status

    Use the supported delivery or portal-sharing path for the intended recipient. Follow the quote’s status and revision history so the team can distinguish a draft, a reviewed offer and a later change.

Illustrative scenario

Renewal proposal

An account owner prepares a renewal quote with the current service package, checks the calculated totals, requests internal approval and shares the approved proposal through the configured workflow.

Before you start

What to check

  • Server calculations are authoritative; verify line inputs, currency, tax and discount treatment before presenting an offer.
  • Sharing, approval and accounting handoff are separate workflows; a generated proposal does not mean it was accepted or paid.

Questions about Quotes and proposals

Useful details before you start.

All questions
Are totals calculated in the browser?

No. The server calculates quote amounts so line totals, discounts and tax follow one authoritative contract.

Can I see earlier quote terms?

Supported revisions and priced snapshots preserve the quote history for review.
