Why This Matters

Streamlined margin management helps you control pricing and protect profitability across all your proposals. Set it once and every quote reflects your target margins.

For generic proposals, margin details can be viewed and adjusted once the setting is enabled by the admin. This setup keeps all financial information in one place, making it easier to manage proposal data without navigating away. Follow the steps below to view and edit the margin in the proposal.
