Question

Converting An Estimate To An Invoice

Why do I have to "Accept" an estimate in order to convert it to an invoice?  I used to be able to just click on "Convert To Invoice" without having to accept it first.  Why did they change this?  All this does is add an extra click, which adds up to a lot of extra time when I do a lot of invoices.  It seems like QB has gone out of their way to add extra clicks to everything we do.

Hello there, Big Time Toys.

 

I acknowledge the concerns you’ve raised about converting estimates to invoices. The requirement to change the status to accepted before converting it is designed to enhance accuracy and accountability in our billing transaction. I would be glad to provide you with further information to clarify this process.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), accepting estimates before converting them into invoices ensures that everyone involved agrees to the terms. This process promotes clear communication and helps minimize errors, improving the reliability of your transactions.

 

Moreover, I can see how this feature would benefit you and your business. I recommend sending this suggestion to our product development team. They will carefully review your feedback, identify areas that require enhancements, and consider incorporating them into future updates.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QBO account.
  2. Go to the Gear Icon.
  3. Under PROFILE, click Feedback.
  4. Enter your comments or product suggestions.

I’m also including this guide to help you manage customer payments in (QBO): Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.
