The Design work line is only a starting point: quantity 1 at $450, tax at 0, quote number Q-1001. The valid-until date starts 30 days out. Change it. The page does not look up a tax rate, and the currency box is a symbol. It does not convert money. When the customer accepts, the button copies the business, the customer, the lines, the tax, the terms, and the valid-until date into the invoice generator. A receipt is for after you have the money. An estimate is the same kind of price, with a discount field.
