Progress Invoicing - % of TOTAL not per line item
I have progress invoicing turned on and when we use the % function, it takes a % of each line.
An example of the full estimate:
Line Item #1: Widget A, 100 qty, $1 ea, $100 total
Line Item #2: Widget B, 200 qty, $2 ea, $400 total
Line Item #3: Labor, 10 qty, $50 ea, $500 total
TOTAL: $1,000
An example of what QB does when I say I want to invoice 50%:
Line Item #1: Widget A, 50 qty, $1 ea, $50 total
Line Item #2: Widget B, 100 qty, $2 ea, $200 total
Line Item #3: Labor, 5 qty, $50 ea, $250 total
TOTAL: $500
This looks to the client like I am only supplying half the amount of widgets and half the labor but in reality they are receiving all the widgets and all the labor but only paying half up front. How can I get QB to *just* discount the total by the % i am requesting and not each line item.
We are using progress invoicing to invoice for a 50% up front deposit since there isn't another function for it.
