A service describes a repeatable legal offer and its useful pricing context. Keep it general enough to reuse, then tailor scope and assumptions in the client proposal.
A proposal should identify the client, work, exclusions, fee arrangement, assumptions, validity, and next step. Priced line items, currency, and a valid-until date live on the proposal itself, so one record carries both the scope and the number. Use the status workflow to distinguish drafting, internal review, delivery, acceptance, and decline.
Create the matter from accepted commercial context where that workflow is available instead of retyping the same scope.
