Estimate
An approximate price based on what you know now. Use it when the scope may change, for example repairs where you can't see the problem until you open the wall. Say how much the final price may vary.
Quote
A fixed price for a clearly defined scope, valid until a date. Use it when you know exactly what the job involves. Once the client accepts, you are expected to do the job for that price.
Then the invoice
After the work is done, you bill with an invoice. In the generator, switch the Type from Estimate or Quote to Invoice and all the details carry over.

Can an estimate change?
Yes, that is the point of an estimate. Tell the client in advance how changes will be approved, and get large changes approved in writing.
