QuickBooks Prep

Accepted in PropoKit. Ready for QuickBooks.

Build and deliver the proposal in PropoKit. When the customer accepts, PropoKit helps prepare the customer, project, line items, pricing, and accepted-work details for QuickBooks.

QuickBooks remains the accounting system of record. Draft proposals stay in PropoKit.

Why the boundary matters

Draft proposals should not clutter your accounting system. PropoKit keeps the sales and proposal workflow organized before accounting begins, then prepares accepted work for QuickBooks when the job is ready.

Drafts stay in PropoKit

Keep early versions, scope changes, files, notes, and proposal drafts out of QuickBooks.

Accepted work is cleaner

Move forward only when the customer says yes and the proposal has a clear accepted state.

Accounting stays accounting

QuickBooks remains the place for invoicing, payments, reporting, and books.

What PropoKit prepares

Customer details

Name, company, contact info, and project relationship stay organized before handoff.

Project context

The accepted job stays tied to its files, scope, proposal versions, and follow-up history.

Line items and pricing

Products, services, quantities, pricing, and taxable status stay connected to the accepted proposal.

Accepted status

Only accepted work should move toward QuickBooks. Drafts and incomplete proposals stay out.

Invoice readiness

PropoKit can show whether the accepted proposal is ready, needs review, or is blocked before handoff.

Clean records

The goal is fewer duplicate records, fewer missing details, and less manual cleanup after the sale.

3

Mark accepted work

When the customer accepts, PropoKit keeps the accepted proposal, pricing, files, and next steps tied to the project.

Prepare for QuickBooks

When QuickBooks is connected, accepted proposal details can be prepared for invoice creation or update according to your account settings.

QuickBooks readiness before invoice creation

Before accepted work moves into QuickBooks, PropoKit helps you review the handoff so you can prevent bad invoices, duplicate records, and accounting cleanup later.

Ready

The accepted proposal has the customer, line items, pricing, and required details.

Needs review

Something may need attention before invoice creation, like missing contact info or a zero-dollar line.

Blocked

The proposal is not accepted, QuickBooks is not connected, or required invoice details are missing.

  • Project files
  • Proposal versions

  • Customer-facing proposal sections
  • Follow-up status
