I have a question regarding the capabilities of the Manufacturing version of Acumatica. Specifically, I am interested in knowing if it is possible to create progress invoicing from Sales order and Job costing within this module.
In my search, I often find guidance pointing towards the Construction module for these features.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi @sbhattarai
As mentioned by @PaulMainard55 , Project module seems to fit your requirement with brief description you have provided. The billing could be based on Project cost, however, in this scenario, the cost is tracked at Project level and invoicing is linked to the Project and not a Sales Order as Invoice would be generated from the Project.
Here is the documentation link for Project Progress billing
@sbhattarai - I don’t think you need the Construction Edition for this, but you can do this using the Project Accounting module, which is a lighter version of Construction.
There are a number of ways to go here with this, but much depends on your accounting requirements. I would guess that given you’re a manufacturer, you’re likely recognizing revenue on shipment, but you want to desposits from the customer along the way?
Perhaps if you can summarize your accounting requirements, we can offer some additional detailed guidance that might be helpful.
