Progress Billing is an invoicing method for one-off jobs that allows you to bill clients based on completed work. Created with Design/Build in mind, this feature gives you more control over the invoicing process. It allows you to review the progress of a job and manually create invoices as needed or create a Milestone and bill their clients as those milestones are reached. Progress Billing can only be used for one-off jobs or for one-off jobs that have been split into multiple visits. Manual Progress Billing is best to use if you want to select which items should be included with each invoice manually.
