Quotes & Proposals

Create customer proposals, contracts, and quotes.

The Proposals Module within EBMS is a sales tool that can be used to create customer proposals and quotes.

Create Quotes for Customers

A quote contains the pricing, descriptions, terms, and other proposal details presented to the customer. Unlike a sales order, a quote does not affect inventory counts or purchasing recommendations. Sales Orders are directly created from these proposals or quotes.

This module can also be used as a template with a set of items, pricing, and details that can be used to create sales orders for multiple customers. A proposal template may contain a standard set of items, materials list for a standard building kit, or other standard parts list.

Quotes & Proposals

Create Recurring Billing

The proposal document is used to create recurring invoices based on a scheduled frequency setting. Review the Recurring Billing module.

Quotes & Proposals

Create Budgets for Jobs

The proposal window is used within the job costing module to create budgets and change orders. Review the Job Costing module.
