Hi @ianlennie 

To process a partial payment on an invoice you would complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to Sales>>Create invoice payments
2. Select the Customer
3. Enter in bank account, date, description...
4. Within the Amount Received column for the appropriate invoice, enter the amount that has been paid
5. Select Save

The above process will take the amount of the payment and apply that to the invoice. If that payment amount doesn't match the full invoice amount it will only apply the amount of the payment to the invoice thus leaving the amount outstanding.
