    Hello, ian-figtreehomes.

     

    I'll be glad to share some information about your situation.

     

    When you invoice a full amount for a specific item, it will not show up on your second invoice. The item that doesn't have a remaining balance will have a Closed status on the estimate. 

     

    I've got these sample screenshots for reference:

    @RenjolynC Thank you for the info! Unfortunately when I create an invoice, my invoice is not showing the amount invoiced to date for each line, and when I create the second invoice, it is still showing all lines as unbilled.

    Thanks for coming back, @ian-figtreehomes. I'm here to share additional insights about progress invoicing. 

     

    It could be that the invoice isn't in the full amount, that's why it still showing as unbilled on your second invoice. Please know that the estimate status automatically changes to Closed once you’ve invoiced for the full estimate. 

     

    Should you try to invoice for more than 100% of the total estimate, you’ll only be able to add what’s left of the remaining balance.

     

    To resolve this, please ensure the invoice is in a full amount for a specific item so it will not show up on your second invoice as unbilled.
