Buy nowIs there a way to get the line item details for invoice and remaining amount from an Estimate created for a Progress Invoice? I see the columns on the edit screen, but when I print or download I don't get these two columns. I looked at the manage estimate customization and design and there is no option to get this info on the print/download document.
I appreciate the detail you’ve provided about the issues you’re encountering when printing or downloading these documents. I know it's essential you have access to all necessary information and am here to help resolve this matter so that your documents include both columns as required, Slevy7.
It's possible the reason why the column did not appear is because you made modifications to the template after you had already created the estimate and progress invoice. Please be aware that any changes made to the template will only be reflected in new transactions created thereafter.
To prevent this issue, check that you selected the necessary columns. If any discrepancies arise, delete or recreate the entries and make sure to pick the appropriate template before finalizing and saving your estimate and progress invoice.

I understand the importance of features that match your business needs, @Slevy7. Nonetheless, the software does have restrictions that inhibit the inclusion of certain fields or columns in exported or printed documents. I'll provide more details below.
Different software may have preset settings for printing or downloading documents that automatically exclude such columns or sections. For example, some columns are system-generated, like those used in progress invoicing to display the remaining balance owed by your customer, and are meant only for internal reference, thus not included in printed outputs.
Please consult our product engineers to investigate and understand these limitations.
