Hi there. I've got some information regarding progress invoicing.

 

Since you have an estimate and want to turn it into an invoice, you'll have to click the Create invoice within your estimate. Right after, you can enter the percentage of each line and its amount so that it'll be stored in the invoice. 

 

If you want to add again the percentage you can click on the Product/Service row. You'll be able to see your created estimate. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu and click the All Sales tab. 
  2. Choose an estimate that you want to make an invoice and press Edit
  3. Beside the Amount, click the Create Invoice.
  4. You'll be asked How much you want to invoice, select the second option where you can enter the percentage and the amount of each line. 
  5. Click Create Invoice. Repeat adding the line if you want to add the estimate again.
  6. Hit Save and Send

 

In addition, ensure that the account summary and estimate summary of your invoice template have been turned on for you to track your invoice amounts. Kindly follow these steps: 

 

  1. Within your invoice, click the Customize tab located at the bottom. 
  2. Click Edit Current
  3. Go to the Content tab and then click the Table.
  4. You'll be able to see what's an account summary, tick the box below which says Show on the invoice
  5.  Click the Footer. You'll be able to see the Estimate summary, tick that. 
  6. Press Done
