It's nice to see you here, @Gina T,
I can help you further with recording your invoices and pre-payments. If you want to mark the invoices as unpaid, you can simply remove the payment from it. This way, you don't have to delete the invoice and recreate it.
To delete a payment, follow the steps below:
- On the invoice, click the payment link below the Payment Status.
- Select the payment date to open the Receive Payment window.
- Unlink the payment by removing the check mark beside the Invoice Number.
- To delete the payment , just click More then Delete.
- Press Yes to confirm the action.
Also, to record a pre-payment, you may set up a retainer deposit so you can apply it at a later time. Here are the steps to do that:
Step 1: Create a trust liability bank account: (optional)
- Go to the Gear Icon then pick Chart of Accounts.
- At the top of the screen, click New.
- Use Bank Account for the Category Type.
- Select Trust account under Detail Type.
- Enter the name you want. Example: Trust Liability Bank Account, or leave the account name as is.
Step 2: Create a trust liability account:
- Choose the Gear Icon then Chart of Accounts.
- At the top, press New.
- Select Other Current Liabilities under Catergory Type.
- Use Trust Accounts – Liabilities under Detail Type.
- Enter the name you want the hit Save.
Step 3: Create a product or service item that uses the trust liability account
- Tap the Gear Icon then Products and Services.
- Click the New button.
- In the Name field, enter a description for the product or service item. Example: Retainer.
- Click the Income Account drop-down and select a Trust Liability account.
- Press Save.
