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?
Hi @Hactar
If you’ve paid money to a supplier but yet to receive an invoice, you could assign the money to their account until the invoice arrives:
When the invoice arrives, simply click ‘Log Payment’, and pay from credit.
Hope that helps!
Would this have the same effect as going into the supplier dashboard and adding a prepayment or is that for a different thing entirely?
Is there no way to input a future invoice so you know it’s coming?
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.
You can set a recurring purchase for the date it is due and set it to occur once.
