Contractors QB - history incorrect in % billed previously section on invoice

Thanks for visiting our forum, @Anne Fitch,

I can share some insights about this progress invoicing concern.

If the % Progress for an estimate exceeds 100%, it means that another transaction is created after a 100% invoice. See this:

In your case, it looks like the first transaction was created in full during the progress instead of choosing the second option. Take a look at this one:

To correct this, you will need to delete the progress invoices and start over. Once deleted, the estimate will revert back to 0% progress, so you can recreate the invoice properly.

To unlink a progress, open the invoice and click the Delete button at the top of the transaction. Refer to this article for guidance with the progress invoicing process: Progress invoices in QuickBooks Desktop

Feel free to post again with any updates or concern you have with QuickBooks. I'll be more than happy to help you anytime. Have a nice day!

It is not the estimate that is over billed - just the one Line Item used.  But in this case, we cannot find anywhere that the line item was used in an invoice until the May one.  BUT the May one shows that the line item was ALREADY billed at 100% when he went to bill it at 90%.  I image the solution is the same though - delete all invoices after the estimate and start over.  Since there are multiple, I don't think my client will like that suggestion.
