# 1. Accessing Invoices

The Invoices menu is where every job in the shop starts and ends. [Add Invoice](https://autosoftware.company/select_customer.php) opens a new invoice or quotation for a customer and vehicle, [Invoice List](https://autosoftware.company/invoice_entry.php) finds the invoices you have already written, Quotation List holds the quotes you have given, Customer History shows what each customer has spent, and Non-Fleet Customer keeps your list of everyday retail customers. The [Home Screen](https://autosoftware.company/welcome.php) also has shortcut buttons for the most used of these: NEW INVOICE & QUOTE, INVOICE LIST and QUOTATION LIST.

## How do I open the Invoices screens?

1. From the Home Screen, click Invoices in the top menu bar.
2. Choose the screen you want: Add Invoice, Invoice List, Quotation List, Customer History or Non-Fleet Customer.
3. For a new job you can also click NEW INVOICE & QUOTE on the Home Screen, which opens the same screen as Add Invoice.

## What is the difference between a draft, a finalized invoice, a quotation and a quick sale?

1. From the Home Screen, click Invoices → Invoice List.
2. A Draft is an invoice that is still being worked on. You can add and change services, parts and labor at any time. The list opens on the Draft view.
3. A Finalized invoice has been paid in full and closed. It can only be changed with the owner's permission.
4. A Quotation is a price you give a customer before they agree to the work. It has its own Quotation # and lives in Invoices → Quotation List until you convert it into an invoice.
5. A Quick Sale is a counter sale with no vehicle, such as a bottle of additive. It is started from the Quick Sales button on Add Invoice.
