Convert a quote into an invoice

Create an invoice directly from a quote to automatically transfer details and link the transactions in your records.

Overview

Converting a quote into an invoice saves time by filling in the invoice with information from the original quote. This process links the two transactions, ensuring your books remain accurate.

If you request a deposit on an quote, it becomes available to convert to an invoice once your customer pays the deposit and accepts the quote.

Prerequisites

Before conversion, the quote status must be Accepted. If a quote was Declined, you must update its status to Pending and send it again for Accepted.
