2) Select the client name to be invoiced

3) Fill in the invoice details as required

4) Click Request deposit

5) On the deposit panel, scroll across the bar to set the deposit to be requested

    or enter a flat amount

6) Click Done

7) The Due field will be changed to Deposit due, which defaults to payable upon
    receipt.

8) Attach any files or documents relevant to the invoice

10) Click Ready to send when the invoice is ready to be sent

The invoice will show the status as DEPOSIT REQUESTED

The invoice history will appear on the right side of the invoice, showing the stages of the invoice

Sending an invoice for the outstanding balance (after deposit payment)

After recording the payment for the deposit, the invoice for the remaining balance can be sent

1) Open the invoice by navigating to Invoicing >  All invoices

2) Set the payment term if it is different from the default payment term

3) To send to the client, click Send for balance

Or click mark balance as sent if there is no need to send it to the client again

If the invoice requesting a deposit was sent using the online link, you don't need to send the invoice to the client again. The client will see the updated version when they click the link. PDF invoices won't be automatically updated, so they must be resent so the client can see amendments.

The invoice history will show the invoice status as Send for $ balance

How to record the balance payment

Once payment is paid, click Record a payment

Or use the quick link button on the dashboard
