Claim an un-bonded estimate

When automatic matching can't decide, the rep picks the contact explicitly from a triage tray — same bond, different provenance.

What it is

A manual claim path for jobs that arrived with no intent behind them. It performs exactly the same bonding as the automatic match, reusing a free opportunity on that contact or creating one, and it records that the bond was manual.

The orphan triage tray at the bottom of EstimatesView with a contact picker on one un-bonded job. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1The triage tray lists jobs with no contact bond.
  2. 2Pick the contact; the job is stamped onto their opportunity.
  3. 3A job someone else already bonded returns the existing bond rather than duplicating it.
  4. 4The action is audit-logged as a manual bind.
Why we built it

Automatic matching is deliberately conservative: when several estimates are open against similar names it refuses to guess, because a silently wrong bond puts one customer's price on another customer's record and nobody finds out until the contract. The ones it won't decide land in a triage tray where the rep who knows picks the contact explicitly — the same bond, with a record that a person made the call rather than a rule.

The problem
  • Un-bonded estimates with no way to attach them without a data fix
