Create progress invoice
Create an invoice for a percent or a fixed amount of a job total. Needs Progressive invoicing on the account.
MCP tool housecall_pro_write → create_progress_invoice
write Confirm
Creates one invoice on a job for a percent or a fixed amount of its total, with its own due date. It needs Progressive invoicing switched on in Settings and a job created after that, and the total invoiced cannot pass 100 percent. The amount and due date cannot be edited afterwards; void and re-invoice instead. The invoice is not sent. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
