Hi team, in the aim of transparency we have split this idea out from the original one here so we can get a better understanding of the interest for this change in each area of Xero.
Being quite different features within Xero it's not likely that a change in one would be reflected in the other area at the same time. We will continue to track interest in removing quotes from the all list here and share if there are any updates.

Hi everyone, we’d like to round back to share an update that the ability to accept deposits has now rolled out to all AU, NZ, UK, CA, SG and US organisations, and we expect to make this available to remaining regions soon.
Staying close to feedback from its release, our team have recently added a due date field in which you can select a specific date that payment of the deposit is expected if this differs from the Invoice due date.
I look forward to looping back to finalise once we’re at 100% roll out of deposits, and give you a hint of where we’ll be expanding functionality next!

I hope this includes progress payments within the same invoice so my customers need to have clearer information on that too?

Thanks for everyone’s continued support in this idea. We’d like to update here that accepting a deposit on an invoice is now live to all organisations that use Stripe in AU, NZ, UK, US, CA and SG with remaining regions soon to come.
We know this doesn’t yet cover fuller progress-payment and instalment workflows, and we recognise those are important for many of you. We’ll keep returning here with more news as work in this space evolves.

100% this
This is the most basic function that an invoicing function must have for most businesses today. Partial payments are part of the business. I am so surprised this was missed in the development stage. As for me, it would be impossible to use a software without this capability.

@John Hart
Card payments don't work for my business and probably a lot of business here saying the same as me!
When you need to invoice for a deposit, one or 2 progress payments and a balance due on completion, when each stage payment is more than most people's credit card limit and the job is completed in a week or 2.
We would like Xero to listen to their users. Xero are not understanding because it doesn't affect them!!

We (Xero subscribed payers) have been asking this for 10 years and Xero choose to not listen. Tell me what customer doesn't change their mind through a progression of a job of construction, event planning etc? XERO NEEDS TO LISTEN

@Andrew Watts 100% correct. This is standard on EVERY other accounting software but why Xero don't think business owners need it, it's a JOKE!

!00% agree with what Peggy has stated, it's NORMAL for small businesses to take progress payments. It's also NORMAL for customers to change their mind, add or delete items, why is Xero creating extra work for something that is NORMAL in other basis software accounting programs? I to do word templates because Xero make it difficult for paying customers!

I used Quickbooks when I first started business in 2004 and it had part payments/progress payments payments back then, yes 20 YEARS AGO 😱 and used MYOB after that and also Reckon, which all have this available yet Xero don't care!!
@Xero Team, why are you NOT listening? It's a real basic requirement for businesses to have. Very hard to explain to my customers details of their job they are being invoiced for when they can't see it on one page!

This is how lots of businesses operate, take a deposit, progress payment and final payment, why it this soooooooo hard for Xero to understand?

Thanks to everyone that’s shared interest in being able to write-off invoices or bills as a bad debt. We understand how a direct feature would enhance your use of Xero and flows when trading.
As shared in our last update, while not a one-click solution we appreciate the needs expressed for being able to record bad debts right now, and have a Xero Central article that provides a way of currently accommodating this in Xero today.
There are also other options that have been shared by members in this conversation that some may want to explore.
We want to be open that specific bad debts functionality isn’t planned for invoices or bills at this time, but we understand the needs here and it’ll continue to remain high on our team’s radar when reviewing and prioritising their roadmap.
With differing product teams and needs for this functionality within invoices and bills…

Hi team, wanting to provide an update to you here, we want you to know we understand the efficiency more users would like to have in being able to automate the creation of the Xero subscription invoice inside their Xero org.
To highlight from my last update for UK users this is possible with eInvoicing through the online invoice (My Bills page).
This is still something we're interested in developing in more regions however isn't planned in our roadmap just yet.
When resource opens up for us to be able to pick this work up we will share an update with you all on this here. Thanks for staying engaged and supporting in this idea.

We would also like to be able to do this. Currently we add a line to quote with description of percentage and new total, however there's no way of knowing balance without doing our own calculations. We are a construction company that invoices on partial completion and have to keep making notes in history to remember its only been partially invoiced.
Surely it's not that hard to add a column where you can detract a percentage of the invoice and then it still shows remaining balance.
