I appreciate the detailed information, JOEBCO. It helped me understand your concern more.

I can think of one way to record your transactions. You'll have to record them as retainers. This method applies when your customers pay or deposit before performing any services. Although, you'll have to add the inventory items in the sales transaction.

We have different steps to set up and record the upfront deposits. I'll share the article that'll walk you through the process.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to leave a comment below. Keep safe!
