SALES OPERATIONS · Workflow idea
For an authorized sales or finance team, use a reviewed intake row to prepare a customer record and draft estimate while checking for a possible existing match. A customer-name match can be ambiguous, and default tax or product mappings may be wrong. Verify contact data, items, amounts, tax, and terms against approved records; protect personal information; and require a responsible person to approve the exact customer and estimate before they are created or sent.
01 / The starting point
A verified customer request, current product and tax mappings, and an authorized finance reviewer
“Prepare a non-duplicate estimate draft with accurate customer and pricing details.”
02 / The work
Checks an intake row for a possible existing customer, then prepares a customer record and estimate for review.

Compare extracted or copied values with the original document and accounting record.
Use stable record keys and confirm the action will not create a duplicate or payment.
Restrict documents, reports, and notifications to authorized finance staff.
Keep accounting entries, invoices, and money movement behind explicit human review.
03 / The result
A checked customer match and estimate proposal with owner approval status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
