    Best Practice for changing an Estimate to an Invoice?

    The vast majority of our datasynchs are Salesforce to QuickBooks. We have a bunch of Opportunities that ended up getting accidentally synched with the "QB Transaction Type" set as "Estimate" and now we really need them to be "Invoice". We know which Optys are in error and I could think of a few ways to go about doing changes on one side or another and then re-datasynching, but what is the Best Practice for "converting" a Estimate Opty to a Invoice Opty? In the end, we need to make sure that there are no stray QuickBooks Estimates when they really should be QuickBooks Invoices?

     Ok, here are a few suggestions:

    You can delete the Estimates from QuickBooks , and since Estimates don't post against Accounting, it should not be a big issue. Typically we always recommend for our users to not delete transactions though, as it is not best practices. If you choose to delete them, you can then go to those Salesforce.com Opportunities and remove all of their QuickBooks information, change their type to Invoice, and re-synch. Make sure to also go into the Opportunity Products and remove the QuickBooks information in the Opportunity Products.

    Second suggestion is to void all of the Estimates ( can estimates be voided?) . Then go to Salesforce and do the same as in the first suggestion. Remove all the QuickBooks information from the Opportunity and Opportunity Products.

    Last suggestion is to convert those Estimates in QuickBooks to Invoices. Then run DataSynch. DataSynch will then create a new batch of Opportunities in Salesforce.

     Let me know if anything needs clarification , good luck!
