# How to save a quote or invoice to the Diary

> Learn how to save a quote or invoice to the Diary in ServiceM8.

Although it is not a common practice, there may be times when you want to save a quote or invoice to the job without actually sending it to the client - for example, if the client only wants a printed copy. Saving it to the Diary means it's ready and accessible without the risk of sending prematurely.

## To save a quote or invoice to the Diary:

1. From the relevant job card, click **Billing.**
2. Click the dropdown arrow on the top right.
3. Click **Customise Quote** (or **Customise Invoice**, depending on status).

The quote or invoice will now be saved as a PDF in the Job Diary, with the time and date of creation and the staff member's name noted.
