I believe there is no option for part payments on the self employed version of QuickBooks (QBSE).
The only solution I was told was to re-issue the invoice as 2 separate invoices. So you would have to credit the existing invoice and raise 2 separate invoices, one for the paid amount and another for the remaining balance... this is because the "invoicing" part of QBSE is not part of the ledger itself and figures do not appear on your tax return. QBSE is for small cash basis sole traders only so if you are requiring "Debtors reports" you will need a business licence from QuickBooks.
Yes, you can partially pay an invoice in QuickBooks
Desktop, Zoe.
Simply open the invoice, hit the Receive
Payments icon, and update the Payment
field. (see screenshots). When you open it back, you’ll see an updated balance
due amount.
That’s it. If you have other questions, please let me
know.
Id like to know this too please! As id like to invoice for a full amount, for example £250. But show that £50 deposit has been paid and that the outstanding balance of £200 still needs to be paid by whatever date.
If you create an invoice and then receive only partial payment, select receive payment > in the payment date box ensure you enter the date you received the payment > in the amount received box enter the amount that you actually received > save and close. When you receive the remaining amount select receive payment > ensure you enter the correct date > save and close.
I apologise, the information I provided you related to our small business product, which I incorrectly assumed you were using.
If you have created the invoice you can edit the invoice and enter the amount you actually received however you would then have to create a new invoice for the remaining amount.
Thats a pretty poor way of going about it from an accounts perspective. I will therefore need to upgrade my account. Is the partial payment feature available on the Simple Start business version?
I found by editing the existing invoice (removing a part of the work) then creating a new invoice with the work or amount removed from original invoice.
