I'm working with a small start-up business, and I have a customer with a job that's being invoiced in 12 monthly installments for 2024. At the start of April, they added two more jobs, and asked that I invoice them for the first four months, then eight more monthly invoices so that the project also concluded in December.
They're now asking me to combine all three jobs into one, and invoice for 1/12 of the total amount for each of the next eight months. I'm leaning towards just keeping the jobs separate in Quickbooks and creating invoices manually. Is there any other way to do what they want? I'm using Desktop Pro 2019.

I'll provide some information about this to guide you on what to do, Skinnyboy77.
Yes, you're right, merging jobs isn't possible if there are estimates created. An invoice can only have one customer job. You can record an invoice with the job or enter them separately. In the meantime, you can send a request to let our product team know how this is helpful for your business. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, it tells me that since there are estimates, they cannot be merged. All three jobs have an estimate, at least one invoice associated with it, and at least one payment as well (there are unpaid invoices, too).
