  • Displayed Quote - Quotes should be active as this is one thing that is going to determine how the next invoice gets created.
  • Date of Quote - Setting the date when you issue the quote. Date can be past, present, or future.
  • Bill to - This option is for whom you will issue the quote and for whom you will send the invoice.

After choosing a certain item, the amount has been pre-populated and that's because the work group says that this is the right amount that should be charged for that. If for some reason you wanted to do a special deal on this matter, you may change the amount.
