    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.

    HI Victoria, yes this has been a request by Xero subscribers for many years. Unfortunately our requests fall on deaf ears. Two options - have an add-on software that syncs with Xero (that you will now have another monthly payment!) or move to Quickbooks.

    May somebody from Xero admin update this 'idea' as it seems this should be a standard setting?!
