Hi guys. It's Dylan here from the Fergus team. In this video, we're gonna go over how to invoice from a quote or estimate. We wanna start in the Invoicing column on the dashboard.

This column has several sections relating to what stage the job you are looking to invoice is at. Depending on you and your team's processes, you'll either start in the ready to be invoiced section in red or the invoices to be approved section in orange. from the job card.
