About the Estimate to Invoice

When a quote is accepted, the invoice that follows should match it line for line. Retyping is how a price drifts, a line goes missing, and a client notices a difference you cannot explain — which turns a routine payment into a negotiation.

This tool starts from the estimate. Paste the lines from a quote, an email or a spreadsheet and they are read into the item table with their quantities and prices intact; or build the estimate here and convert it in place. The conversion adds what an invoice needs and a quote does not — a sequential invoice number, an issue date, payment terms, a due date — and carries the quote reference across so both documents can be matched later.

Deposits are handled too: if part was paid when the estimate was accepted, enter it and the invoice shows the total, the amount already paid and the balance due.

Key features of the Estimate to Invoice

Paste the quote lines

Description, quantity and price are read from tab- or comma-separated text.

Quote reference carried across

So the two documents can still be matched a year later.

Deposit deducted

Total, amount already paid and balance due, all on the invoice.

Separate numbering

Estimate and invoice sequences stay independent, as they should.

Nothing drifts

Prices come across exactly, so no client spots a difference you cannot explain.
