Scenario 


When a project requires a long estimation of duration, it is crucial for contractors to ensure that there is sufficient fund to support the on-going project operation.

Progress Billing Module is developed to cater these requirements. User may issue invoices to request partial payment for the completed portion /percentage of the on-going project.
