      for each  Service_Line_Item in Service_Line_Items
      {
       line_item_id = Service_Line_Item.toMap().get("id");
       line_item_id_list.add(line_item_id);
      }
      data = {"data":{{"Work_Order":Work_Order_Id,"$Service_Line_Items":line_item_id_list,"$finance_data":{"discount_preference":{"Adjustment":0}}}}};

      invoice_id = invoice_response.get("data").toMap().get("Invoices").toMap().get("id");
      contact_id = work_order.get("Contact").toMap().get("id");
      contactResp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Contacts",contact_id);
      contactData = contactResp.get("data").toMap();
      email = contactData.get("Email");
      email_list = list();
      email_list.add(email);
      invoice_data = {"data":{"send_invoice_pdf":true,"to_mail_ids":email_list,"send_from_org_email_id":true}};
      send_invoice_response = invokeurl
      [

       type :POST
