Sales & Quotations
Invoice a project progressively
What this does
Bills a long project in stages against its bill of quantities — an advance first, then progress invoices that deduct everything already billed.
Before you start
- The sales order is confirmed and marked for progressive billing.
Steps
-
01
Create the advance invoice for the agreed percentage of the contract.
-
02
As work proceeds, record progress per line — by quantity done or by percentage.
-
03
Create a progress invoice: it bills the cumulative progress and deducts what was already invoiced.
-
04
Repeat until the final invoice closes the balance.
Common mistakes
- Editing a posted progress invoice by hand — cancel and regenerate instead, so the cumulative deduction stays consistent.
