# Set up progress billing

You can use progress billing as an alternative way to invoice a project. In progress billing, you invoice the amount of work completed so far.

Before you can use progress billing, you must set the progress billing parameters on the **Project Control Suite parameters**.

In progress billing, you can apply retentions. You can set up and use retentions that are based on:

- Percentage of work completed
- Invoiced amounts schedule
