Just wondering if there is a way to insert a construction holdback on my invoice and make it do i can invoice this portion at a later date?

Hello, 

Progress invoicing lets you split an estimate into as many invoices as you need. Instead of asking for full payment at the beginning of a project, you can invoice customers for partial payments. As you complete work, add items from the initial estimate to progress invoices. This keeps project payments organized and connected from start to finish.

Here's more information about progress invoicing in QBO: Set up and send progress invoices in QuickBooks Online.

This article explains in detail the 5-step process involved with progress invoicing. Here's what you'll learn in the article: 

1. How to turn on progress invoicing in your QBO account.

2. How to create a progress invoice template. 

3. How to create an estimate. 

4. How to create progress invoices from the estimate.

5. How to keep track of your progress invoices. 

The amount charged for each progression will be up to you. If your customer would like their final invoice to reflect the holdback amounts, this will simply reflect the remaining balance. You can write in the Memo field if your customer wishes to see this description reflected on their invoice.
