Alternatively, if you’re in the Quotes module, you can navigate to the Quote Preferences by clicking the Gear icon in the top-right corner and selecting Preferences.

Editing Accepted Quotes

An accepted quote can be converted into an invoice. If you want to allow editing of accepted quotes, mark the box Allow editing of accepted quotes.

When you make any changes to an invoiced quote, the changes won’t reflect in the invoice. You’ll have to convert the edited quote to a new invoice.

The public link is the link that is shared through the share quote link option or the link that is accessed from the email sent to the customer.

If you want to allow customers to accept or reject the quote sent to them through the public link, mark the box Allow customers to accept or decline the quotes via the public link. This can be useful for customers who do not have customer portal enabled. You will be informed via notification and email once the customer has accepted or declined the quote.

Automating Quote Conversion

    • Select No if you don’t want to automatically convert an accepted quote to an invoice.

  2. Check the fields in a quote that you would like to be the same when it is converted into an invoice.

Adding Custom Fields

If you have an office with folders stacked in a shelf, Custom Fields are like extra folders that you can add to your already existing folders to store more files.

Custom Fields are fields that you can manually add to the quote creation page to store additional information relating to the quote.

To create a Custom Field:

Pro Tip: Custom Fields that you’ve added to a quote will not be available in an invoice when you convert a quote to an invoice. However, you can retain the information that you enter in the custom fields of a quote in an invoice by creating a custom field under Quotes and another under Invoices with exact same name. Now, when you convert a quote to an invoice, the custom field information of a quote will be available in the invoice as well.
