# Turn a quote into an invoice

In the quote's menu, choose Create invoice. The invoice form opens with the quote's client, lines and currency. Check it and click Create invoice. The quote doesn't change.

## Create the invoice from the quote

1. Open “Quotes” in the menu.
2. Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of the quote's line and choose “Create invoice”. On the quote page, click “Create invoice”.
3. The invoice form opens, filled from the quote. Check it and complete it.
4. Click “Create invoice”.

Nothing is saved before you click “Create invoice”. See [Create a sales invoice](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-sales-invoice) for each part of the form.

## What comes from the quote

- The client, the currency and the language.
- The lines and the discount.
- Your international company details, if the quote uses them.
- The quote's files, under “Additional documents”. Remove the ones you don't need. The invoice gets its own copy of each file, and the quote keeps its files.

## What you fill in

- “Document date”: today at first.
- “Invoice number”: the next number of your series. With several series, Skileo takes the first one. Choose another in “Document series” if you need.
- “Due date”: empty at first.
- “Preferred payment method”: Other at first.
- “Message to the client (appears on the invoice)”: empty at first.

## What happens to the quote

The quote doesn't change: it keeps its status and its content. If you want its status to show that it is done, change it yourself. See [Change the status of a quote](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/change-the-status-of-a-quote).

You can make several invoices from the same quote, for example to bill it in parts. Change the lines of each invoice to match.


## Common questions

### Can I invoice a quote the client hasn't accepted?

Yes. “Create invoice” is offered whatever the status of the quote.

### Is the quote linked to the invoice?

Skileo remembers which quote an invoice comes from, but the quote screens don't show it.

### Who can turn a quote into an invoice?

The “Business owner”, and each “Member” with “Invoicing” set to “Write”.
