# Use zero progress bill

Before you start a project, you can create, print, and post a so-called zero progress bill. You can create a zero progress bill once before a regular progress bill is created.

You can use the zero progress bill as an official statement at the start of a project to communicate the work breakdown structure, quantities, and prices.

Zero progress bill characteristics:

- A special journal is used for the zero progress bill. This journal is different from the regular progress bill journal. For the journal name, the **Zero progress bill** check box is selected.
- Print a zero progress bill before you create and post a regular progress bill.
