    3. In the Deluge Script Editor, enter the following script:

      contact_id = work_order.get("Contact").toMap().get("id");
      contact_resp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Contacts",contact_id);
      invoice_contact_id = contact_resp.get("data").toMap().get("ZBilling_Id");
      listVar = List();
      Service_Line_Item_List = work_order.get("Service_Line_Items").toList();
      for each  line in Service_Line_Item_List
      {
       line_map = line.toMap();
       line_name = line_map.get("Service").toMap().get("name");
       line_id = line_map.get("Service").toMap().get("id");
       line_resp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Service_And_Parts",line_id);
       invoice_line_id = line_resp.get("data").toMap().get("ZBilling_Id");
       mapVar = Map();
       mapVar.put("item_id",invoice_line_id);
       mapVar.put("name",line_name);
       mapVar.put("rate",line_map.get("List_Price"));
       mapVar.put("quantity",line_map.get("Quantity"));
       listVar.add(mapVar);
      }
      Part_Line_Item_List = work_order.get("Part_Line_Items").toList();
      for each  line in Part_Line_Item_List
      {
       line_map = line.toMap();
       line_name = line_map.get("Part").toMap().get("name");
       line_id = line_map.get("Part").toMap().get("id");
       line_resp = zoho.fsm.getRecordById("Service_And_Parts",line_id);
       invoice_line_id = line_resp.get("data").toMap().get("ZBilling_Id");
       mapVar = Map();
       mapVar.put("item_id",invoice_line_id);
       mapVar.put("name",line_name);
       mapVar.put("rate",line_map.get("List_Price"));
       mapVar.put("quantity",line_map.get("Quantity"));
       listVar.add(mapVar);
      }
      values = Map();
      values.put("customer_id",invoice_contact_id);
      values.put("line_items",listVar);
      response = zoho.invoice.create("Estimates","<orgId>",values);
