Approved proposal becomes ERP order — without back-office retyping
Client accepts, manager releases, and order born in system — sales reviews exception, not rewrites what was already negotiated.
Sales closes proposal in CRM and back-office retypes item, price, and condition in ERP — error, delay, and client dispute. An agent reads approved proposal, validates price list, inventory, and credit per rule, generates sales order in ERP, and returns protocol to CRM. Special condition or margin outside authority goes to human approval with negotiation context. Salesperson and operations see same order number — not divergent version between sales and billing.
What blocks you today
Approved proposal takes too long to become order because someone must retype everything. Item, discount, or term entered wrong in manual conversion. Sales chases status in internal group; operations discovers divergence only at shipment. Manager doesn't know how many approved proposals stalled without order.
What changes in practice
- Approved proposal reading in CRM with items, price, term, and commercial condition
- Price list, available inventory, and credit limit validation before order generation
- Sales order generation in ERP linked to source opportunity or proposal
- Configurable human approval for margin, discount, or condition outside authority
- Integration with CRM, ERP, and commercial rules already adopted by company
Business outcome
Order born in ERP in short cycle after approval — billing doesn't wait for retyping. Divergence between proposal and order drops; client receives consistent confirmation. Sales tracks real conversion; manager sees approved proposal stalled without issued order.
Where it usually fits
- B2B sales teams with formal proposal and cycle to ERP order
- Distribution and wholesale with price list, discount, and term negotiated in CRM
- Operations with lean back-office between commercial closing and billing

- Sales with high approved proposal volume and conversion queue to order
