Invoices from estimates

Short answer

Converting an estimate into an invoice carries the full finished scope, materials and labor across — not just the short brief you typed in. The client's page and the PDF lead with the payment summary and Pay Now, then the payment schedule, the full scope and the material and labor lines.

Where: From an accepted estimate, or Invoices > New Invoice

Plans: All paid plans

Invoice an estimate and check what the client sees

  1. Open the estimate and convert it to an invoice, or open Invoices → New Invoice and pick the project.
  2. Choose the mode — full amount, deposit and final, or milestones.
  3. Open the invoice and use the client preview: the payment summary and Pay Now come first, then the schedule, the full scope, then materials and labor.
  4. Download the PDF — it matches that page.

Client-facing prices only: costs, markup and internal rate markers are never printed.

Fix an invoice that shows only the short brief

  1. Open the invoice from Invoices.
  2. It fills itself from the estimate it came from, so nothing needs re-sending — the client's existing link starts showing the full scope and line items.
  3. If the estimate was deleted, the invoice keeps whatever it already had.
