Auto-convert Opportunities to Invoices
You can convert an existing Opportunity object to an Invoice. The Opportunity Products will be converted to Line Items in the Invoice. The newly created Invoice will be linked to the originating Opportunity using the Opportunity lookup field.
The Opportunity Product Line Item lookup field will facilitate mapping the Invoice Line Item directly with the Opportunity Product Line Item. When an Invoice is created from Opportunities using the Create Invoice button, you can self-map additional Opportunity Line Item fields to the Invoice using a process builder.
