Great news, @Leo11_2!

 

You can write a proposal in QuickBooks Online by creating an estimate. Let me show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Plus icon.
  2. Under Costumers, select Estimate.
  3. Enter information as needed such as customer's name, product or service and date.
  4. Click on Save and close.

 

You can check and read this article to learn more about estimates: Estimates/Quotes - Setup and Function.

It'll be my pleasure to help if you have an other questions.
