         <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/domains/pdm.invm#inst.spec" role="option">Progress Invoice</GUIRef> is an invoice type that resembles the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/domains/pdm.invm#instalment" role="option">Installment</GUIRef> type. In this procedure, the installment
		amount depends on the project's progress and the element's sales rates.
		Progress invoice specifications involve invoicing partial contract amounts at
		agreed intervals, for example, every four weeks. You then release this data to
		the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ci/sli" role="module">Sales Invoicing</GUIRef> module.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The fixed amount of all
		the installments equals the total contract price. If progress is 100%, you can
		invoice the entire contract amount.</Paragraph>
