How to set company defaults and sales-proposal follow-ups

Set the currency, country, unit of measure and proposal validity that Freightools falls back on everywhere, then switch on the two reminders and the expiry warning for sales proposals you have sent.

Updated 9/16/2026

Core Configurations holds the values Freightools uses when nothing more specific has been
chosen — the currency a new quotation opens in, the units your weights and dimensions are read
in, and how long a sales proposal stays valid. The same section switches on automatic follow-up
reminders for proposals you have sent.

Set the core defaults

  1. Open Settings → Company → Basic Info and scroll to Core Configurations.
  2. Set Company Currency.
  3. Set Company Country.
  4. Set Default UM — the unit of measure, for example kg/cm.
  5. Set Default Sales Proposal Validity Period (days).
  6. Click Save Changes.

Core Configurations: Company Currency, Company Country, Default UM and the proposal validity period

Important: The section is headed All fields are required, and Company Currency,
Company Country and Default UM each carry a red asterisk — fill all three in before you
click Save Changes. Default Sales Proposal Validity Period is not asterisked.

Switch on sales-proposal follow-ups

Tick Activate SP Follow-up. Three timing fields appear:

FieldCounted fromTypical use
Reminder 1 (days after sent)the day the proposal was senta first nudge, e.g. 1 day
Reminder 2 (days after sent)the day the proposal was senta second nudge, e.g. 3 days
Expiration reminder (days before expiration)the proposal's expiry date, counting backwardsa last chance, e.g. 2 days

Activate SP Follow-up ticked, showing Reminder 1, Reminder 2 and the expiration reminder

Both reminders count forward from the send date, so Reminder 2 should be the larger number. The
expiration reminder counts backwards from the expiry date, which is the validity period you set
above.

Click Save Changes when you are done. Clearing Activate SP Follow-up hides the three
fields again and stops the reminders.
