Proposals

A proposal is a factory suggesting an order to you before a formal batch exists. Instead of a brand opening a batch and sending a request, the factory starts the conversation: “we are about to run this product, in this quantity, on this PO.” Your job is to turn that into a real order under the right client.

The proposal flow

Reviewing and accepting

Open Proposals to see everything factories have sent you. Each shows the product, quantity, sizes, and PO reference. For each one you can:

• Accept and assign to a client brand. Choose which of your customers the order belongs to. Pasera creates the batch under that brand, ready for the normal define → request → review → publish flow.
• Keep it under your own house brand. If the order is not for a specific client yet, assign it to your agent’s own house brand and move it to a client later.
• Reject it if it should not proceed.

Accepting materializes the proposal: it becomes a live batch with the product and quantity carried over, so no one re-keys the order.

When to use proposals

Proposals fit factory-led workflows, where the factory knows the production run before the brand has set it up in Pasera. For brand-led workflows, the brand (or you, acting as the brand) simply creates the batch directly. See Batches & DPPs.
