Quotes are deliberately stateless — they do not move between Pending → Accepted → Rejected, and they do not become invoices. Instead, when a customer says yes, you convert the quote into the appropriate working record.

When to convert

Use the conversion that matches the work:

  • If the quote is for a repair job on a customer's device — convert to a repair.
  • If the quote is for parts you will sell to the customer — convert to a parts order.

You can also do nothing and leave the quote as a record of what was offered.

Convert to a repair

  1. 1
    Open the quote detail
    Quotes tab → tap the row.
  2. 2
    Tap Convert → To Repair
    In the action sheet under the CONVERT section.
  3. 3
    Review the new-repair form
    Customer, device serial number, issue (concatenated from the quoted items), and estimated cost are pre-filled.
  4. 4
    Save
    A brand-new repair is created in Pending status. The quote stays untouched as a record.

Convert to a parts order

  1. 1
    Open the quote detail
    Quotes tab → tap the row.
  2. 2
    Tap Convert → To Order
    In the action sheet under the CONVERT section.
  3. 3
    Review the new-order form
    Customer is pre-filled. Line items, quantities, and unit costs are not copied automatically — re-enter them so you can adjust quantities and add the supplier.
  4. 4
    Save
    A new parts order is created in Pending status. The original quote stays as a record.

Original quote

Conversion does not delete or modify the original quote. It stays in the Quotes tab as a permanent record of what you offered and at what price. If you want to remove it, open it and use the delete action — but most shops keep their quote history for reference.
