Question

The second or third progressive invoice doesn't show the balance from the previous invoice. Nor does it send that crucial information to the customers email.

The second progressive invoice doesn't show the previous balance. Also, it doesn't email a previous balance from the last progressive invoice, current payment, and final balance all together so the customer can understand what is being billed and what the past bill was at a glance. So my workaround is to create the second or third invoice is to duplicate the browser page and have the estimate open which shows the previous balance from the previous invoices and a page for the new invoice open at the same time. However, when it emails to the customer, all it sends is the total of the line item from the original quote and the percentage of what I am billing them for on the current invoice, but it doesn't show them how much they have previously paid on their prior invoice. Is there a setting for this?
