Why retyping is the expensive step
Every manual re-entry is a chance to drop a line, mistype a rate, or apply a discount to the wrong subtotal. On a large quote the error is often larger than a day's margin.
It also breaks the audit trail. If the invoice was typed fresh, nothing connects it to what the customer actually agreed to, which is exactly what you need when a figure is disputed.
Keeping deposits straight
A deposit taken at acceptance has to reduce the final balance without disappearing from the record. Logging deposits and partial payments against the invoice keeps both the history and the outstanding figure correct.
Pro adds payment history and reports so the pattern across jobs is visible rather than reassembled from PDFs at month end.
What the customer receives
A polished multi-page PDF in one of three styles, with your own logo and colours under Pro and without the small QuoteLocal footer.
Payment instructions, terms, references and custom fields appear as you configured them, so the invoice matches how your business actually bills.
