Please Learn from this topic; you showed Inventory. Nothing here is Products kept on hand. That doesn't apply.

Templates are Designs. What you are asking about is using Estimates or Sales Orders as part of Pre-Sales planning. You document the Plan. You can later invoice from the Estimate or from the Sales Order. The issue is not Template, but Transaction Type.

 

Example: I quote you that I will work for you for $100 an hour, and we anticipate 5 hours. The estimate you sign, or what I make for my own reference, is where I document that I just quoted you that rate of $100 per hour. Later, I invoice, select the Estimate, and I can update the quantity Sold on this invoice to the Actual Time.
