Description of Worksheet functions in MeasureSquare
The order they are listed in is progressive as the job goes on, Quote & Proposal can be interchangeable along with Work Order and Purchase Order at times.
Worksheet Types:Proposal: A budget but it is more of a rough estimate of the cost and not necessarily binding. It will also come with some explanation of qualifications like "we included all the carpet but didn't include anything for the stairs because you didn't tell us what you want there."
Quotation: I would expect a quote to be more exact and with fewer qualifications. "Our quote for 2,000 sqft of carpet is $5/sqft for a total of $10,000. This quotation is good for 30 days." It may also have a spot where you can sign it, return the form and you are now under contract.
Work Order: More information once a deal is signed. The work order would be the paperwork to order the carpet that is sent to the factory/vendor. Or your client may issue you a work order if they do a lot of work with you and perhaps authorizing you to do work.
Purchase Order: Similar to a work order, maybe just for material they are purchasing that doesn't have labor or the install component.
Invoice: Like a receipt of something that is fully authorized or if the work is already complete. Some people may give you a work order that authorizes you to do the work, then you send an invoice showing it was done, they then pay you from the invoice you sent them.

By product: The worksheet is estimated and organized by product for the entire project.
