Proposals

Key terms

proposal

A package containing one or more quotes as well as any other documentation to support the quote. Other documentation may include a formal cover letter, insurer marketing material, and specimen policy forms.
Note: All Underwriting Management documentation presumes that a single proposal can contain multiple quotes. If your configuration allows only a single quote per proposal, anywhere Proposals are referenced, you can consider the proposal to contain a single quote.)

Proposals

After a submission has been cleared and the initial underwriting triage and evaluation has been performed, you can create formal proposals.

You can create as many proposals as you want for a submission. You can also send multiple proposals to an agent so the agent can select the most desirable one. Each proposal has a number associated with it. If you delete a proposal, the number is not reused.

While you are creating a proposal or a quote, if any of the required fields are not complete or contain invalid data, you cannot proceed. To obtain rates, complete the pricing step, or send proposals, make sure that all of the application data is complete and valid.
Note:

At any point, you can get more information on what you need to complete or fix by hovering your cursor over a disabled command. A tooltip appears with information on what is required so that you can proceed.
