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.

This would be a very valuable feature for our business. Many clients ask us how to make part payments through Xero payment services, however they are not able to.
It is 12 years since you shared this idea (in 2012) and I am surprised Xero does not have the resources to make this feature active by now...I am not impressed with Xero since I have started using it 6 months ago.Elsa Sosa

Hey community, we want to acknowledge all the feedback you’ve provided on this idea. We know from your comments here and through other channels that taking deposits or partial payments on invoices is a crucial part of the workflow for many businesses, whether it's to cover initial costs or to confirm a new project.
In terms of current options, within Xero there is the ability to create prepayments. Alternatively there are some third-party apps that serve these needs, too.
However, we do want to share that our product team is actively working on a solution that'll allow you to request and accept deposit payments.
While we can't give specifics on a timeline as yet, please know that this is a priority for us. We're grateful for the detailed feedback you've provided so far, which has been invaluable in getting us to this point.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated…

Common Xero, haven't you grown enough by now to make a better product. I have worked for 25 years with accounting/bookkeeping systems and i am still finding Xero lacks a lot of features. This being a critical one for businesses be able to accept part payments...
Up your game, I am so close to deciding to move onto another software that is more advanced.
Can all those here who really would benefit from this idea, bombard this page with this request so maybe then XERO will take some action! You would think this isn't such a difficult feature to add to the system with other systems having had implemented this a while ago...
XERO we want to be able to do progress payments, please do something about it. Thanks
