There are many ways to create an invoice in the FieldPulse mobile app. Follow this guide to learn different ways to create an invoice, or select your preferred method.
Creating an Invoice
To create a new invoice, navigate to the Sales tab in the bottom menu, then select Invoices.
Once here, you can sort your existing invoices using the menu at the top of the screen. Additionally, you can select the Create New button to build a new invoice.
You can select Import Template to build your invoice from an existing template, or fill out the details to start from scratch. If you expect to use this invoice frequently, toggle on Save as Template to save time in the future!
You can now select a customer to link to this invoice. If the invoice is connected to an existing job or project, search for and select the job/project in the Related Job/Related Project field.
Include internal notes and tags as needed on the invoice as well. You can also manually adjust the invoice due date. To change your default invoice settings, learn more here.
Now it's time to add items to your estimate. There are a variety of ways to do this, based on your business needs and your preferences.
Add Line Item: Selecting Add Line Item will allow you to search your item list in order to add items to the estimate.
Insert Bundle: Bundles are for services and parts that are often grouped together. To learn more about bundles and how to create them, click here.
Pricebook: Selecting Pricebook will allow you to select and add flat-rate jobs from your Pricebook.
Additional Details
Add Estimate Option allows you to create multiple estimate options for your customer to choose from, similar to a variant proposal.
Create Add-On Options allows you to create add-ons for your customer to select and add on to the standard items listed in the estimate. This may look like an extended warranty, upgraded parts, or an additional service.
Add Grouping allows you to organize your line items on the estimate, as well as control the visibility of the line item names and prices for your customer. Simply create a grouping then drag and drop line items into it to begin organizing your estimate!
Apply Markup/Margin allows you to apply a markup or achieve a margin, which will overwrite all the item prices in your estimate.
After saving your invoice, you can now view the invoice record. Use the top menu to add related material to the invoice or view recent changes. When you're ready, select View Invoice to show the invoice in person, or to email it to your customer.
If you want to collect or mark payment on-site, select Payment. To learn more about collecting or marking payment, visit the Payments - Mobile App article.
Convert an Estimate to an Invoice
If your customer accepts an estimate, select Convert to Invoice to transfer all the details from the estimate into an invoice record to save time.
To begin, navigate to the Sales tab in the bottom menu and select Estimates.
Select the estimate you'd like to convert to an invoice.
Once in the estimate record, select Convert to Invoice. (Note: that the estimate record will no longer exist, as it will become an invoice record. If you want to maintain the estimate record after converting it to an invoice, learn more here.)
Once converted into an invoice, you can make changes by selecting the Edit button. If everything looks good, select Finalize Invoice.

Create an Invoice from a Job Record
To create an invoice directly from a job record, begin by navigating to the job record. Once in the record, select Actions then Create Invoice, or select Invoices from the top menu then Create Invoice.
Notice that the customer name, invoice title, and related job have been automatically entered as the invoice was created directly from the job record.

Invoice Statuses
As you create and send invoices, FieldPulse makes keeping track of the statuses easy. On your Invoices page, notice the statuses listed on the right side of each invoice record. Statuses include: Draft, Invoiced, Partially Paid, Paid, Overdue, and Void. These statuses are automatically updated by FieldPulse. You can also use the menu at the top of the Invoices page to sort your invoices by status.
Customer Invoice Experience
To preview, send, or show an invoice, select View Invoice on the invoice record.
Once here, you can select the invoice view you'd like to use: Dynamic Invoice or PDF. You can also send the invoice to your customer using the Send button, or select Present to show your customer the invoice in-person.
To change the invoice settings for this invoice, select Settings. If you want to change your default invoice settings, visit this article.
If you select Settings, you will be presented with these options.
