Proposal Contracts Contain Pricing Terms

The pricing terms (e.g., rates, contract quantities, riders, bill factor values, load curves, etc.) used to generate a quote detail's simulated bill segments reside on a special type of contract (contract) referred to as a "proposal contract". Proposal contracts are like real contracts in many respects. In fact, you can view and change a proposal contracts pricing terms using the same transaction used to maintain real contracts (i.e., contract maintenance).

Note: Quote details are rather empty. A quote detail doesn't contain the pricing terms or template product/charge type. Rather, a quote detail references a proposal contract and the proposal contract contains the pricing terms and template product/charge type.
