Part Payment .. How to record it?

Hi Guys,

I have a client that has PART PAYED a bill - EG:

BILL=€1000, they paid €700

How do I record this part payment? I have the invoice setup with the full amount which was sent out.

Do I set that invoice to the part payment amount, close it, and set up another with new balance??

Hi Aidan,

Just record an invoice payment for €700, then later record another invoice payment for €300 allocated to the same invoice. See this page for details of how to record an invoice payment:

Yes - I know this one, Money Recieved.

BUT if the original invoice has the TOTAL amount inc vat of say €1000, the client pays €700 of that invoice, this leaves €300 outstanding.

The original invoice still says €1000, The Money Recieved panel IS LOOKING for €1000 on one line?

The only way I can think is to create TWO invoices for the client transaction. One for €700, the other for €300??

OK Mark,

My fault - I did not try nor thought you could enter less than the full amount against an invoice number in MONEY RECIEVED Panel.

I entered the €700 against the €1000 invoice number. It did the partial payment,

Cheers
