You may include invoice items or job breakdown collected in the invoice tab in Office Management in an agreement, contract, or other document.

Regular merge fields would only merge a single piece of information for a field from Office Management.  The document editor also has the ability to insert special invoice fields that can load invoice information for a job recursively within a table cell- thus performing a similar function as an invoice form. Our video here demonstrates.

When creating the document itself to use as an invoice, agreement, or similar, here is an overview of steps to actually create or set up the document file itself, which might be used as an invoice, agreement or similar, and sent separately or attached to an inspection later.
