Managing the proposal workflow

The proposal view turns quote information into a customer-facing commercial document while preserving status, approval history, and controlled internal information.

Open a proposal

From the Quotes screen, choose View Proposal on the quote you want to review.

LupinusBuild loads the quote line items and the customer connected to the quote before opening the proposal.

Proposal status workflow

Status changes require the appropriate permission.

Draft→Sent→Approved
Sent→Rejected

When a proposal is Draft, the available workflow action is Mark as Sent. Once Sent, authorized users can choose Approve or Reject.

Approved and Rejected proposals display their resulting status rather than another forward status action.

Status history

The proposal includes a Status History section that loads recorded quote status changes from operational audit history.

Each recorded status entry can show the change summary, the user associated with the change, and the timestamp.

Traceability

Proposal status history helps preserve who changed the commercial state of the quote and when that change occurred.

Customer-facing financial information

The proposal presents the values intended for the customer, including applicable discount, tax, line-item pricing, and the final Customer Total.

Internal financial controls

Internal quote records support cost and profitability fields. The customer-facing proposal view does not present the internal Cost Basis, Estimated Profit, or Estimated Margin metrics shown in authorized internal quote views.

Export the proposal as a PDF

Choose Export PDF from the proposal screen. LupinusBuild builds the proposal PDF using the current company, quote, line-item, and customer information.

The generated document uses the quote number in the proposal file name.

Continue after quote approval
