Deposit Invoices for Unlocked Estimates Before Contract Price Is Fixed

Updated this week

Overview

⚠️This feature is only available for converted jobs with an unlocked estimate. Deposit invoices are in addition to the contract price. Remember to apply them to your progress claims to maintain accurate job totals.

ℹ️ For further information on flexible estimates, see this article.

Deposit invoices are created through the standard client invoice workflow, resembling an itemised cost invoice. To create a deposit invoice, navigate to Jobs > select the relevant Job > Job Financials > Client Invoices, then click . A new draft invoice will be created.

Click  to set the issue date, linking to a specific date or a schedule item and ensure you have the correct Xero/QuickBooks contact. Scroll to Invoice Items and click   to enter your new invoice itemQTY amount, Price Ex GST and choose to Save Draft, Save and Schedule or Save and Send. Save and Send will push the invoice to your accounting software as a draft, where it can be approved and issued to the customer.

💡You can still collect a deposit directly through Stripe at the point of contract signing.
