Progress Invoicing - QB Enterprise

Thank you for the information, however I know how to create an invoice from an estimate and how to track the progress billing.  My issue is that once the invoice is created showing a % billed it is fine.  However when I open the invoice on another day (and this does not happen to all progress invoices, only a few), the invoice total is correct but the % billed is gone (the % column is blank) and the estimate doesn't recognize that the % has been billed.  I have to void the original invoice and then re-create it and then all is fine.  I cannot determine why it happens on some and not on others as I am doing everything the same when creating the invoice from the estimate.  I've done a verify data and all is good.  I suppose I need to re-install QB on my workstation.  I was hoping someone else had a similar issue and had found a solution.

Let me provide some insights into how progress invoicing works in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Papamark.

Yes, you can create invoices without charging the employee time. Progress invoicing is billing for a project that stretches over days, weeks, months, or sometimes even years. You can choose how much of an estimate you'd like to convert into an invoice, keep track of home you've invoiced, and continue converting from the original estimate until it has been fully invoiced. You can follow the steps below: 

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company as an admin.
2. Go to the File menu, then select Switch to Single-user mode.
3. Move to the Edit menu, then choose Preferences.
4. Click Jobs & Estimates from the list.
5. Tap the Company Preferences tab.
6. Hit Yes in the DO YOU CREATE ESTIMATES? section. Then select Yes in the DO YOU DO PROGRESS INVOICING? section.
7. Press OK.

The next step is to create an estimate. Here's how:

1. Move to the Customers menu, then select Create Estimates.
2. Choose the customer in question.
3. Fill out the rest of the estimate.
4. Hit Save & Close.

Lastly, here's how to create progress invoices:

1. Go to the Customers menu, then select Customer Center.
2. Choose your customer on the list.
3. Open the estimate in question on the customer's page.
4. Tap Create invoice from the toolbar.
5. Choose the specify on what to include on the invoice.
6. Fill out the rest of the invoice, then send it to your customer.

Here's more information about setting and using this feature: Set up and send progress invoices in QuickBooks Desktop.
