How can I invoice in excess of a line item amount on an estimate? It's within the total estimate amount, but QBO closes the line item when the amount is invoiced.

Thanks for the response.  It does not solve the problem, but good to know it's a limitation of QBO. 

In my case, I need to keep the original estimate and bill in excess.  Quickbooks should add a switch, so we can set whether to enforce this restriction or allow excess billing.

I have the same frustration and and trying to figure out how to over come this. 

Hi jcnooney,

I understand the possible effects of closing a partially invoiced estimate. I’m sending feedback on your behalf, and you can do the same by clicking the Gear icon and selecting Feedback.

For now, what you can do is go back to the estimate and update the status to Pending. Then, you'll want to enter a dated statement in the Message displayed on estimate box to indicate how much was invoiced per line item.

Please don't hesitate to reach back out if you have other questions about your estimates.
