Converting a Quotation to an Invoice

๐Ÿ“… Updated 19 Sep 2026 ๐Ÿ‘ 16 views

Once a client accepts your quotation, you can convert it into an invoice in one click โ€” all items, rates, and customer details carry over automatically.

How to Convert

  1. Open the quotation from Sales โ†’ Quotations.
  2. Click the Convert to Invoice button in the action bar.
  3. BillYantra creates a draft invoice pre-filled with:
    • Same customer
    • Same line items (product, HSN/SAC, qty, rate, GST)
    • Same notes
  4. You are redirected to the new draft invoice to review and finalize.

What Happens to the Quotation?

After conversion:

  • The quotation status changes to Accepted.
  • A link to the generated invoice appears on the quotation page.
  • The quotation can no longer be edited (it is locked as accepted).

Editing Before Finalizing

The generated invoice starts as a Draft so you can make last-minute adjustments โ€” change the invoice date, add payment terms, update a line item โ€” before you finalize and send it.

Note: You can only convert a quotation once. If the client requests changes after acceptance, edit the draft invoice directly, or decline and re-create the quotation.
