&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;Not without customizing this. &lt;span id="mce_26_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;You may want to review the process we use to create an&amp;nbsp;invoice from a work order by looking at the actions on the &lt;em&gt;FieldService_WorkOrderList&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;FieldService_CreateInvoices&lt;/em&gt; screens. &amp;nbsp;On the work order list screen there&amp;#39;s a more actions button with&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Invoice all...&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Invoice selected... &lt;/em&gt;events. &amp;nbsp;On the create invoices screen you can review the actions under the &lt;em&gt;create invoices&lt;/em&gt; button to see how we&amp;#39;re creating an invoice for work orders. &amp;nbsp;We use the &lt;em&gt;ActivityJobItems&lt;/em&gt; table to store the billable line items for each work order then insert those into the &lt;em&gt;invoiceLineItems&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;when ready to bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_16_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;If your business process requires estimates to be created instead of invoice from these screens I would recommend some&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.methodintegration.com/training-customization.aspx" title="training" target="_blank"&gt;customization help&lt;/a&gt; from our team. &amp;nbsp;They can help point you in the right direction on if this customization will work or alternatives if this isn&amp;#39;t a good idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
