Is a quotation the same as an invoice?

No. A quotation is a price estimate offered before any sale — it doesn't create a payment obligation or GST liability the way a tax invoice does. Once the client accepts, you'd raise a Simple Invoice or GST Invoice for the actual sale.

Why does it ask for a "Valid Until" date?

Prices, availability, and tax rates can change — a validity date is standard practice on a real quotation so both sides know how long the estimate holds.
