Hello, I want to do the same thing, show Payment #1 and Payment #2. I realize I am 5 years later and QBO is a little different.

I do books for a GC and most of the subcontractors are 50% now and the rest when the job is done. I can just enter 50% of the amount but it leaves an open balance when I select "pay bills". I don't want them to show up there till I am ready to pay the remaining amount.

Is there a way with the newer version to do that?
