A Down Payment by the Customer is entered as a Receipt, but leave the Invoice Number blank. Instead, a Prepayment Number should be specified on flip D. For the purpose of the 'Create Down Payment' function, this must be the Order Number of the Order against which the Down Payment has been received. Use 'Paste Special' to obtain a list of Orders from which the correct one can be chosen. The Customer on flip A will be changed to that of the Order, and the Bank Amount and Received Value will be changed to the Order total. Change the Received Value to the value of the Down Payment if this is different. The Customer must be one whose On Account box on the 'Terms' card has been checked.

Ensure the cursor is in the row containing the Down Payment, that the Received Value is greater than zero and that the Inv No field in that row is blank. Then select 'Create Down Payment' from the Operations menu. An Invoice for the Down Payment is created immediately. It is opened in a new window, entitled 'Invoice: Inspect'. This means that it has been created and saved and is being opened for amendment and approval. The text ("Deposit for" in the illustration) is taken from the Down Payments setting in the Sales Orders module, while the VAT Code (and therefore the VAT calculation) and the Sales Account are taken from the Item specified in that setting.

Approve the Invoice and print it in the usual way. Then, close it using the close box. On returning to the Receipt, the Invoice Number field has been filled in with the Number of the new Invoice:

Approve the Receipt and save it in the usual way by clicking [Save].

Only one Down Payment Invoice can be created from a particular Order. Subsequent Down Payment Invoices created from an Order will be for a zero amount.

This function creates an Invoice when a deposit is received for which no Invoice exists. If you choose not to create a Down Payment Invoice straight away, please refer to the On Account Receipts and Prepayments page for details of allocating the payment to an Invoice raised later.

To raise a Down Payment Invoice which is to act as a demand for payment (i.e. in advance of receiving the deposit), use the 'Down Payment Invoice' function on the Operations menu of the Sales Order screen. Receipts against such Invoices should be registered as ordinary Receipts.
