Clicking 
above the list of customer estimates, or double-clicking an existing estimate, displays the Estimate form. You can use the form to view, modify or enter the details of an estimate.
Specify the date of the transaction. You can click today to set the date to the current date.
Specify a description, such as an estimate number.
EasyBooks can automatically generate an estimate number, and can automatically increase the number for each new estimate. If, for example, you enter EST-123-E, EasyBooks determines the next available number (e.g. EST-124-E) and inserts it into Estimate Number.
Do not use digits in Estimate Number if you prefer this feature not to be used.
