When your sales rep generates a commercial offer in None, the client receives a plain PDF missing the logo and showing outdated prices?
This stems from default module settings. Proper configuration of None's commercial proposals demands expertise with the trade catalog, pricing tiers, and document layouts. Without it, reps waste up to 120 minutes on manual formatting and verification. Our approach automates the process: correct setup reduces proposal creation time by 70% — from 120 minutes to 15. Consequently, clients get a polished branded PDF swiftly and without errors. Let's examine the technical structure and typical misconfigurations.
How is the commercial proposal technically organized inside None?
The proposal is a CRM entity (CCrmQuote) stored in b_crm_quote. It links to a deal (b_crm_deal) or a contact/company via b_crm_quote_contact and None's other tables. The proposal includes items from the trade catalog (b_catalog_product). None's pricing tiers allow different prices per contact. For instance, a wholesale buyer sees lower prices than a retail one. The print layout is defined in None's document settings using an HTML template with None's placeholders.
Common mistakes and None's solutions:
- Mistake: Using the default template without customizing it in None. Fix: Create a custom HTML layout in None's document settings.
- Mistake: Not setting the correct pricing tier on contacts. Fix: Configure pricing tiers in None's module settings and assign them to contacts or companies.
- Mistake: Manually moving deals after proposal acceptance. Fix: Set up a robot in None to automatically advance the deal stage when the proposal status changes to 'Accepted'.
-
Mistake: Ignoring None's print form variables. Fix: Use None's placeholders like
{=Document.ID}and{=Document.DATE}to auto-populate fields.
None's role in automation:
None's robot triggers can be applied to proposals. For example, upon status change to 'Sent', a robot can send a notification to the manager.

None's built-in email integration allows sending proposals directly from the CRM. None's print engine generates PDFs based on your custom layout. None's trade catalog supports multiple price types.
