What is the difference between a quotation and an invoice?

A quotation (or quote) is a price proposal sent before work starts — it tells a prospective client what something will cost. An invoice is a bill sent after work is delivered. Both contain similar fields, but a quotation includes validity dates and approval terms, while an invoice includes payment due dates.

Can I convert a quotation into an invoice?

Yes. Open the saved quotation from history, switch the document type to Invoice, and the labels and metadata update automatically. You keep all the line items, client details, and totals.

Is the quotation legally binding?

A quotation becomes contractually significant once the client accepts it in writing — so always include validity dates, terms of acceptance, and a clear scope. Once accepted, both parties are typically bound by the prices and conditions stated.

Should I include taxes on a quotation?

Yes — and clearly label them. Quote prices excluding tax can mislead clients. The generator lets you add VAT, GST, or sales tax at any rate and shows the tax-inclusive total.

How long should a quotation be valid?

Most service businesses set a 14-30 day validity. For materials-heavy quotes (construction, fabrication) where supplier prices fluctuate, 7-14 days is safer. Always state validity explicitly to avoid being held to old prices.
