How to display fees as a section total in your proposal

Learn how to enable and configure section subtotals in GoProposal so you can display total fees per section instead of individual service breakdowns.

Written by Russell Henderson

The section subtotals feature lets you show the total fee for a section in your proposal rather than listing each service separately. This is useful when you want to simplify the presentation of fees. You can set default preferences for each section and override them when creating a proposal.


Step 1 - Enable section subtotals

  1. Go to Configure and select Pricing Tool.

  2. Scroll down and tick the box for Section Subtotals.


Set your default preferences

  1. Go to Configure and select Line Items.

  2. Click Edit Line next to the service you want to update.

  3. For each section, use the dropdown to choose how fees should display:

    • Section total

    • Individual line items

  4. Click Save Line Item.

📎NOTE: If you integrate with QuickBooks or Xero, assign an account code to each section to track revenue accurately.


Preview your changes

Create a proposal and scroll to the Preview section to confirm the display settings.


Overriding default settings in a proposal

  1. Create a Proposal and click Get Valuation.

  2. Use the subtotal view toggle:

    • Next to each section, use the toggle to override the default display setting

    • Switch between section total and individual line item breakdown as needed

  3. Scroll down to the Preview section to check your changes before sending.

Your proposal will display fees as section totals or individual breakdowns based on your chosen settings.
