    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.

    We have been using this draft method to send progress payments now for years but it would be so much cleaner and easier and faster if we could just invoice progress payments on a project we are working on. It just doesn't make sense that we have such a great accounting system but we can't easily see whether the total has been billed for a project without adding up all of the invoices. This would be my number one most important feature.
