Set a floor rate that actually blocks low quotes

Your floor rate is the lowest fee you will accept for a gig. Set it once and Booked Solid OS will not let a quote below that number go out - not as a suggestion, but as a hard stop at the Approve button. This article shows you where to set it and how the enforcement works.

Where the floor rate lives

1. Open Settings and stay on the General tab.
2. Find the card called Rules I enforce for you.
3. Under Your floor rate, pick your currency and type the amount.
4. Leave the field blank if you do not want a floor at all - blank means no floor.

Type the number however you like: 2.000, 2,000 and 2000 all mean two thousand. A European-style "2.000" is never read as two. If a number could be read two ways, the app rounds toward the larger value, because a higher floor blocks more and keeps you safe.

Enforced, not advisory

The floor works on two layers at once:

• Otto is told in every task: never quote or accept a fee below your floor. So drafts should already respect it.
• Every priced action is also checked against the floor at the moment you press Approve. If the fee is below your floor, Approve is blocked with a reason like "Below your USD floor" (it names your own currency). This check is deterministic - it does not depend on Otto remembering the rule.

The check fails closed. That means anything the app cannot verify also blocks Approve instead of slipping through:

• A priced action with no clear fee shows "Couldn't confirm the fee is at or above your floor" (again with your currency named).
• A quote in a different currency than your floor shows "Couldn't check this against your floor: it's in a different currency." No exchange-rate conversion is done - if you quote in EUR, set your floor in EUR.
• An item that was parked without spelled-out details cannot be checked, so it blocks too. Edit it so the fee and details are explicit, then approve.

What Otto does when a lead's budget is too low

Otto's instructions say to never quote or accept a fee below your floor, so it will not draft a quote under that number just because a lead asked for one. And if a low number does end up in a drafted quote for any reason, the Approve button greys out rather than letting it send. You stay in control either way: you can raise the quote, negotiate, or change your floor in Settings if this gig is worth an exception.

Good to know

• The floor only bites on actions that carry a price, like quotes. Confirming an already-agreed date is not blocked unless it restates a fee.
• Changing or clearing the floor takes effect right away - nothing here is one-way.
