proposal generation error partner margin column visible to customer in PDF

  • Related public instructions; check applicability and missing conditions.

Fixes this proposal failure. Fix: Mark the partner margin column as internal only in the proposal template, regenerate the customer PDF from the customer view of the document, and inspect every page of the PDF before sending. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the proposal or quote workflow it names. Not for platform outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be resolved first.

When it applies

Instructions

TL;DR

Fix this in the proposal PDF generator by acting on the exact message first: mark the partner margin column as internal only in the proposal template, regenerate the customer PDF from the customer view of the document, and inspect every page of the PDF before sending. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

proposal generation error partner margin column visible to customer in PDF

Use this when

  • The operation in the proposal PDF generator fails with this exact message: proposal generation error partner margin column visible to customer in PDF.
  • The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
  • A proposal, quote or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

  • The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
  • The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

  1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the proposal PDF generator, and copy the full message plus the proposal, quote or account involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
  2. Apply the specific fix for this error: mark the partner margin column as internal only in the proposal template, regenerate the customer PDF from the customer view of the document, and inspect every page of the PDF before sending. Verify: the regenerated PDF contains no margin column and a text search of the PDF finds no margin values.
  3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, pricebook or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
  4. Compare the result against the source system in the proposal PDF generator so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
  5. Rerun the original operation in the proposal PDF generator on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
  6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the PDF was generated from the internal document view, which includes margin columns the online customer view normally hides.

How to fix: proposal generation error partner margin column visible to customer in PDF

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in the proposal PDF generator. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

Troubleshooting this failure in the proposal PDF generator

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: the proposal PDF generator at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

Qwilr proposal error pricing block shows internal cost not customer price

  • Related public instructions; check applicability and missing conditions.

Fixes this proposal failure. Fix: Open the Qwilr pricing block settings, switch the displayed column set from the internal view to the customer view so only customer price columns are published, preview the page as the customer, and resend the link. Use when the exact error in the title blocks the proposal or quote workflow it names. Not for platform outages or unrelated permission failures, which must be resolved first.

Why it happens

the block was published with its internal column set still selected, so cost fields built for margin review were exposed to the customer.

Why it happens

the wide pricing table was rendered at full width into a portrait page, so the export clipped the columns beyond the page edge.
