To add a down payment line to an invoice in QuickBooks, you can follow these steps:
- Open the invoice you want to add a down payment line to.
- Click on the Add new section button at the bottom of the invoice.
- From the drop-down list, select the type of line you want to add, such as Product/Service or Other Charge.
- In the Description field, enter a description for the down payment line, such as "Down Payment" or "Deposit".
- In the Amount field, enter the amount of the down payment.
- Make sure the Tax field is set correctly based on your tax settings.
- Click on Save and Close to save the invoice.
By adding a separate line for the down payment, you can invoice for the down payment amount only, without showing any payments that may have been received. This will allow you to track the down payment separately from any other payments received for the invoice.
Note that if you have already received a down payment and want to record it as a payment on the invoice, you can add a payment to the invoice and select the down payment line as the item to apply the payment to. This will mark the down payment as paid and reduce the amount due on the invoice by the down payment amount.
