Create a progress entry

You can produce an invoice without clearing any work-in-process (WIP). You might use a progress entry for one of these reasons.
  • Time hasn't been entered yet.
  • You're billing a client in advance for work that hasn't been completed.
  • You're billing a client for work that's going to last for more than 1 billing cycle.
A progress entry creates a negative WIP carryover. When you later return to Detail Billing, you can identify a transaction as a progress entry by noting that the WIP amount is negative and its type is Progress Billing.
