Hi Fiona27,
Thanks for your post and welcome here to the Community Forum.
Regarding your inquiry, if your trading terms are more complex, such as requiring a deposit before items are ordered and the balance paid on installation, you may need to make some adjustments.
You can create a custom field for payment terms and enter your specific terms, such as "50% deposit before ordering, balance on installation. Since your terms are not standard, you may need to manually adjust the due date on the invoice to reflect the actual terms agreed upon with the customer. Instead of creating a single invoice for the total amount, consider creating two separate invoices.
Invoice 1: 50% deposit before ordering.
Invoice 2: Balance to be paid on installation.
Adjust the due dates on each invoice according to your specific terms. Then check if your MYOB version supports progress invoicing. This allows you to invoice a percentage of the total amount as a deposit and then invoice the remaining balance later. Set up progress invoices with the required percentages and due dates.
