Reading a proposal

What each part of the proposal means and how to choose between A / B / C.

Open any proposal from your portal, or tap the link in the text or email Alba sends. The structure:

Header

  • Distributor name
  • Cutoff date + countdown (live ticking — when the cutoff arrives the proposal slips to the next delivery cycle)
  • Trigger reason: how many critical, how many projected stockouts

Three options

Each option has:

  • A letter (A / B / C)
  • A short description ("Critical only", "Critical + Priority 1")
  • Total bottles + total dollar value
  • A pill marking the recommended one
  • A pill if the option is below distributor minimum
  • A pill if it's been auto-padded to hit minimum

Per-item breakdown (expand the "X items" caret)

Each item shows:

  • Beverage name
  • Quantity in case-aware format (e.g. "1 case · 12 btl")
  • Cost per unit + line total
  • A reason chip ("Critical · 1 left", "Below par · 4 left")

How to choose

  • Smallest order that meets minimum and covers the criticals = pick A
  • You're stocking up before a busy weekend = pick B or C
  • The whole thing feels wrong = postpone or skip, retry next cycle

Pick by tapping a Confirm button in the app or portal, or reply with the letter by text.
