There are times when an account wants to know ahead of time how much a case is going to cost.  You can create proposals in VisualDLP and print out a copy of it to send to the Doctor.  Creating a proposal uses similar steps as creating an order, however Proposals cannot be scheduled or invoiced.  They will be marked as Proposed in the order list.

When creating a proposal you can add notes and comments just like you can on an actual order.  You also add products as you do in Order entry.  Pricing comes from the price list the account is on or any special pricing that has been setup.

Note. sales tax is not included in proposals.
