Event Setup Step 4: Create Invoice
For collaborative events only: In Sho-Soft, a quote can be converted directly into an invoice once it is approved by the client. If you already created a quote, use the Convert to Invoice option in the Quote Viewer instead of creating a new invoice from scratch. If you need to create a new invoice without a quote, follow the steps below.
Note: You can skip this step if the event is Self-Produced. Only complete this step for Collaborative Events.
