Thanks for all your feedback around being able to issue progress payments on sales invoices.
Right now as noted by others in the idea, one option for processing progress payments in Xero could be to use a draft invoice to keep track of the total amount, and using Copy to create new invoices for each progress payment, linking them back to the original project or quote in the description. It’s not a perfect solution, but may help manage the process.
We've been listening to your feedback and know there are multiple ways businesses operate - and we're exploring solutions for these workflows such as progress payments, and additionally, the ability to accept a deposit from a single invoice.
While we're unable to provide timeframes around this just yet, please know that this is a priority to us and we'll keep you updated on the progress through this idea.

Yes please! It is needed to avoid back dating that should not be occurring.
This is definitely a need for our business in relation to payables - same concept.
In the wine industry, it is standard that payment for grapes are done over three payments:
1/3rd 30EOM
1/3rd 30 June
1/3rd 30 September
We need to be able run a payables report with due dates for cashflow forecasting.
At the moment we are having to create three invoices for every single purchase to be able to achieve this.
The 'solution' provided by Xero support of having notes on the lines as a way to manage this is inefficient and does not show up in a report for use and from our perspective is in no way a solution.
I am keen for Xero to make some progress on offering the required functionality for their customers.
