Split payments - Invoicing

Question asked by Ryan Davis 8 years ago

Hi In my line of business I often take split payments. For example I send a quote out for £3000 and on it I put that £1000 must be paid before work commences, £1000 after 5 days and then £1000 on completion. My question is how do people record this in clearbooks? If I convert the original quote to an invoice then it shows that the full amount is due. Is there a way to have split payments on this invoice? Or do I create three invoices? Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Ryan,

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no option to move the summary box to the bottom of the invoice.

However, for advanced CSS designers; it is possible to take direct control over the entire theme stylesheet. This can be found under Settings>Configure System>Invoice Themes>Styling.

Thanks, Tommy

Thanks for the quick reply, I was unsure if one way or the other was the way to go but it seems as though either will be acceptable. Is there a way of putting the summary at the bottom of the invoice (mine currently shows at the top before the quote/invoice details)?

Hi Ryan,

At the moment converting a quote to an invoice will only be able to generate an invoice for the full amount by default. You could generate 1 invoice from the quote and make it clear on the invoice that 3 payments are due (with the specific dates) in the summary. Part payments can then be allocated to the invoice.

Alternatively, you could generate 3 invoices from the quote and edit the amount before confirming.
