# Estimate & Invoice Templates

> Save reusable line-item templates and drop them into any estimate or invoice, then tweak quantities, prices, and notes per job.

When creating a new estimate or invoice, users can effortlessly insert pre-built templates into the record. These templates act as a solid foundation, which can then be adjusted to include project-specific details. Users can easily modify line items, quantities, prices, and add specific customer notes to ensure accuracy and relevance.

# Creating a Template

*(**Note:** While the following steps outline the invoice template process, the estimate template process is identical, but takes place under the Estimates tab.)*

To create an invoice template, begin by navigating to *Invoices* in the left-side menu then clicking *Create Invoice*.

Before adding any information, toggle on *Save As Invoice Template*.

You can now title your template.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/ZtNX8pwzNqOcNF1n/static/images/_api/8215828-estimate-invoice-templates/03.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZtNX8pwzNqOcNF1n&q=85&s=da4698962169918df9f7974b201c1b29" alt="Click on Invoice Title…" width="1200" height="789" data-path="static/images/_api/8215828-estimate-invoice-templates/03.png" />

Enter all applicable line items and organize as you wish using [groupings and bundles](/using-fieldpulse/estimates-invoices/line-item-bundles-groupings). If you are using QuickBooks, you can also select and save the *QuickBooks Class* on your template to automatically populate it later.

You can also complete the tags and custom fields.

Lastly, include notes and attach files and/or a contract. When you've customized your template, press *Save*.

# Default Your Template Updates

A feature has been added to individual Estimate and Invoice Templates, allowing you to keep line items automatically updated with changes made in the Item List/Repository.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/ZtNX8pwzNqOcNF1n/static/images/_api/8215828-estimate-invoice-templates/10.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZtNX8pwzNqOcNF1n&q=85&s=82f1d520d78eea53f844973e1c314566" alt="Import Template option with template selection list" width="2374" height="1388" data-path="static/images/_api/8215828-estimate-invoice-templates/10.png" />

In *Company Settings* > *Estimates & Invoices* > *Advanced*, you will see two settings:

* **Default Update Estimate & Invoice Templates via Item List/Repository**

  * This defaults the toggle on or off on new Estimates and Invoice Templates moving forward (does not adjust existing Templates).

* **Item fields to update via Item List/Repository**

  * Select which fields on your Line Items in your Estimate/Invoice templates update based on the Item List/Repository.

    * Examples: Unit Cost, Unit Price, Taxed, SKU number, Quantity.
