Quotes & Invoices

[crafter]

Creating an unposted invoice is certainly a good option for creating a quote
system. The problem with this approach is that invoices cannot be deleted,
and have to be 'zeroed' and recycled. Not all quotations result in an
invoice, and soon you end up with a problem managing unposted invoices.

The real prize would be the ability to initiate creation of an invoice from
a external source (for example a 'service' or API call).

Currently, I have a PHP, MariaDB application that reads the invoicing data
from the SQL GnuCash tables and prints invoices according to an Libreoffice
template. It would then be easy for me to retain quotations in a local
database, and not interfere with financial records at all at quotation stage
(but read client details from the GnuCash database. Then, when the quotation
has been accepted, I could convert the local quote to an invoice in the
GnuCash database in one easy step.
