Invoices - invoice a percentage of a task
Having the ability to invoice a percentage of each task in a project.
Our company invoices as a job progresses e.g 20% of one task is completed the first month, and then 50% has been completed the following month.
At this stage, I am only able to apply a 'discount' to alter the amount invoiced (while still maintaining the full contract amount on the invoice as a reference to clients). When doing this, it also marks that task as invoiced and I am unable to further invoice. The only alternative to this, is invoicing for a project amount and still applying the discount.
This is a very convoluted way to invoice and causes messy reporting.
Is this something we cna look at adopting in XERO projects?

As a service-based business (graphic design), 99% of my business is done on, at a minimum, a 2-payment basis (deposit and final payment). Many jobs involve several milestone payments. Creating multiple invoices for one job is not ideal, to put it mildly. The inconvenience factor aside, it totally negates your "hey! make your life simple and just convert a quote to an invoice!" nifty sound bite on your quotes. Please do take care of this!!

This is really important for us too.
Xero seem to ignore requests for this, it has been raised many times before, see link below with 151 votes and still no action from Xero?:
