any work around for adding a deposit to an order?

Until a proper solution is provided, here's a workaround (untested) that I have seen posted elsewhere:

• create a "Deposits held" liability account, type Credit card
• Use Receive Money to record the deposit to that account. Put the customer name and order number in the reference.
• On the invoice, add a negative line, no GST, for the deposit, allocated to that account.

I am working on it, but it is a three/four-step solution. I am just checking to see how it affects reporting and GST.

Hi Earl - thanks for the links but no what i am after - i wish do be ale to put a deposit towards an order - which would become an invoice once goods are ready
