*   **Quotes**

If you’ve created a quote for a customer, then it can be _converted to an invoice_ depending on the corresponding setting in Quote Preferences. You can choose to either convert an accepted quote into an invoice automatically, or create an invoice manually. The quote’s details will be pre-filled in the invoice creation page.

*   **Sales Orders**

When a sales order has been confirmed, you can fulfil it by converting it to an invoice. You can also choose to partially invoice a sales order by including only selective items. Details from the sales order will be pre-filled in the invoice creation page.

*   **Invoices**

You can create, edit, and view all your invoices from this dedicated space for invoices. You can also import invoices from the Cloud or Desktop.

*   **Recurring Invoices**

If you’ve set up a recurring profile, then child invoices will be created automatically depending on the configured frequency. You can also create a new invoice manually for a recurring invoice. The customer and item details will be pre-filled in the invoice creation page.

*   **Projects**

If you work on projects and charge your customers for it, you can create an invoice for the partial or full completion of a project. You can choose what to include in the invoice. Depending on your choice, the details will be pre-filled in the invoice creation page.
