Question:  Is there a best practice for having Total Contract Value displayed in Quickbooks?

• Additional Information for Question:
• Right now, our company has a process where we invoice the Job being performing all within one (1) invoice with multiple Line Items to indicate each Milestone Payment for the Job.
• In the example below, we are invoicing for Milestone Payment 1 & 2 today (and will show a QTY of zero for Progress Payment 3 since it is not due until Sept.)
• Problems with this approach
• When the customer pays with the online Quickbooks payment for Progress Payment 1 & 2, the outstanding balance goes to zero (as expected) but unless someone comes into the invoice and manually updates Progress Payment 3 to be a QTY of 1 (instead of a QTY of zero) then there are potential missed future invoices when viewing outstanding balances, overdue invoices, etc.
• End-Goal:
• Is there a best practice that others are using when wanting to be able to track and see Total Contract Value while at the same time invoice with this type of process?  Or would each Line Item have to be its own separate invoice (which we are trying not to do but if required we understand).
