Selecting the “The Proposal and all Line Items are Complete” option will set the Proposal, and all Items included on the Proposal, as Completed upon clicking the OK Button.  The "Make the Proposal and all Line Items Inactive" option likewise sets the Proposal and all of its Items as Inactive.  The Proposal Items Grid displays information about the Items and should be used in assessing whether or not the Proposal is Complete.  Design Manager recommends to set the Proposal as Complete when all of its Items are invoiced to the Client.  Items that are not yet invoiced are displayed in red so they can be detected easily.
