# Estimates - Mobile App

> Build, edit, send, and get sign-off on estimates from your phone in the field, then convert an accepted one to an invoice in a tap.

You can create, edit, and send estimates in the FieldPulse mobile app. Once an estimate has been accepted, convert it to an invoice with ease! Note that the process of creating an invoice is very similar if you choose to create an invoice instead of converting an estimate into an invoice.

# Creating an Estimate

To create a new estimate, navigate to the *Sales* tab in the bottom menu, then select *Estimates*. *(**Note:** There are many ways to create a new estimate including from a job record, customer record, or the Actions button.)*

Once here, you can sort your existing estimates using the menu at the top of the screen. Additionally, you can select the *Create New* button to build a new estimate.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/rE00UYd8_Zr6SXtA/static/images/_api/6167941-estimates-mobile-app/02.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=rE00UYd8_Zr6SXtA&q=85&s=d7c2e783325ad55ea136d2fb9e36d300" alt="Untitled step" width="1200" height="1727" data-path="static/images/_api/6167941-estimates-mobile-app/02.png" />

You can select *Import Template* to build your estimate from an existing template, or fill out the details to start from scratch. If you expect to use this estimate frequently, toggle on *Save as Template* to save time in the future!

You can now select a customer to link to this estimate. If the estimate 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 estimate as well. You can also manually adjust the estimate expiration date. To change your default estimate settings, learn more [the default estimate and invoice settings](/using-fieldpulse/estimates-invoices/default-estimate-invoice-settings).

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, [the line item bundles guide](/using-fieldpulse/estimates-invoices/line-item-bundles-groupings)

#### Pricebook: Selecting Pricebook will allow you to select and add flat-rate jobs from your Pricebook

# Estimate Statuses

As you create and send estimates, FieldPulse makes keeping track of the statuses easy. On your *Estimates* page, notice the statuses listed on the right side of each estimate record. The *Draft*, *Sent*, and *Accepted* statuses are automatically updated by FieldPulse, while the remaining statuses can be manually updated to continue keeping track of your estimate long-term. You can also use the menu at the top of the *Estimates* page to sort your estimates by status.
