Creating proposals from budgets
To create a proposal from a budget:
-
Open 6-9 Proposals.
-
Using the data control bar, select a specific job.
Important! Only four of the buttons in the data control activate areas in 6-9 Proposals: First, Previous, Next, and Last.
The Display Lookup drop-down arrow displays the Accounts ReceivableLookup window, and the detail button displays the 3-5 Jobs (Accounts Receivable) window.
- In the Phase list, click the phase.
- Under Proposal Basis, click Cost Codes.
- On the Options menu, point to Import and click Budget.
- In the Overhead/Profit by Cost Type dialog box, enter the overhead and profit rates for each cost type. Then click OK.
- Adjust the individual amounts to reflect what you want to charge the client.
- Click > .
Tips:
- To reapply the overhead and profit rates, delete the current proposal and import the budget again.
- If you anticipate changes and want to preserve the current proposal, set the original proposal.
