How to create a quote

A quote tells the client what the work will cost before you start: your professional fees and the government fees you pass through. When the client accepts, one click turns it into an invoice. You need the client's contact first.

Every screen in this guide comes from ImmCase itself, filled with a fictional client («Daniela Ruiz») and firm («Northwind Immigration Consulting»). Prices are invented.

Good to know

  • Set up your price list once in Admin → Services and Fees. Every quote and invoice picks from it.
  • Payment in instalments? Fill in Number of payments and use Suggest payment plan on the quote; the plan carries over to the invoice.
  • Link the case in Details if it is already open, so the quote shows on the case too.
