Apptivo enriches your experience by allowing you to convert records from Estimates App to Invoices App. You may not require the conversion of entire data to the Invoices App. To simplify your work, Apptivo has introduced Custom Conversions. Custom conversion enables you to convert the particular attributes of a record in the Estimates App to Invoices App. Here, you can decide the values for conversion.

  • You can access Custom Conversion from Settings in the Estimates App → EstimatesConversionCustom Conversion. Here, select Mapping to choose the attributes.

  • Select the Mapping function of the Invoices App and select the attributes for conversion.
  • In the Mapping field, I have linked the tasks and events with the Invoices App. I have also mapped the Estimate date with the Invoice date along with the customer name.
  • Hence, the other values will not be mapped when conversion takes place.
