# Invoices & approvals

> Create customer invoices from deals, and route big quote discounts through the approval queue.

## Invoices

Create invoices from the **Invoices** page (or from a deal). An invoice
needs:

* The **deal** it bills (required — shown as "Deal — Customer")
* An optional invoice number and a **currency**
* **Line items** — product (optional), description, quantity, unit price, and
  a discount %, with totals computed per line; or a simple manual total when
  you don't need line items

New invoices start as **drafts** with the issue date set. The invoices list
shows number, customer, deal, amount, status, and issue date, and is
searchable.

<Note>
  Your company logo, address, and billing details appear on invoices — a
  warning links you to Settings if they're missing. Admins set these under
  **Settings → Branding & Billing**.
</Note>

## Discount approvals

To keep discounting under control, quotes whose discount meets your company's
threshold (say, 40%) are automatically **submitted for approval** — and until
approved, **invoicing that deal is blocked**, with a message explaining why.

The **Approval Queue** page is where designated approvers (a configured
approver role, or Company Admins by default) handle these:

* Each request card shows the quote, amount, discount %, requester, and date,
  with a **View quote** link.
* **Approve** unblocks invoicing for the deal.
* **Reject** asks for an optional reason (e.g. "Discount exceeds policy
  limit") and keeps invoicing blocked until the quote is revised.
