I have just paid £25 as a deposit towards an invoice I won’t get for 11 days. I can’t create an invoice with a future date on it so what is the “correct” way to record the payment against a non existent invoice?
Should I just create the invoice with today’s date for the full amount, mark it as partially paid by the deposit leaving the rest outstanding, and then just move the invoice date on when it is finally issued?
They both do the same thing, except by adding a prepayment using your method, you would create a bank transaction, whereas the one above uses an existing one.
