Various actions with quote/ proposal items
Once you have created your first proposal item, there are several actions you can do to further edit them.
Copy or Move
Following your hard work on creating a highly complex proposal item, you would like to copy or move it either on the same proposal/project or on a different proposal/project. Select the proposal item and click "Actions".
Then select "Copy" or "Move".
Then, select where you want to copy or move the proposal item, either on the same project (for "copy") or to a different project (for "copy" and "move").

Remove Acceptance
In case you need to remove a previously accepted proposal item, select it and click "Actions", "Set Acceptance" again. In the new window, you can either change some of the available fields or click "Remove Acceptance".
There are certain cases that you cannot remove an acceptance. Find out more on this FAQ article.
Create Tasks
When a proposal item is accepted, you can easily create tasks so that you will schedule your employees. Select the proposal items and click "Create Tasks".
Note: you can only create tasks from already accepted proposal items. Also, as can be seen above, Monitoring is the parent proposal item and Topographic Survey is the child proposal item. To find out more about proposal items, check here: Proposal Items.
In the new window, you can select whether you want to create separate tasks for staff resources saved under that proposal item and prefixing the parent name to child task. When ready, click "Create".
As can be seen, in this instance, we have decided to create separate tasks and prefix the parent therefore:
- "Monitoring" is prefixed to the task name (green)
- one task is for SES-Junior Engineer while the other is for SES-Senior Engineer (red)
Delete
You can select the proposal items that you want to delete, click "Actions" and "Delete".
There are certain cases that you delete a proposal item. Find out more on this FAQ article.
