What Is an Invoice Schedule?
An invoice schedule breaks a total amount into stages or recurring payments. It is useful for projects, retainers, or subscriptions where the customer pays in parts. The schedule shows due dates, amounts, and the remaining balance.
Even the obvious fields like the invoice number, total amount, and payment dates are essential because they keep both sides aligned on what is due and when.

- Customer details: the client paying the schedule.
