    Hi Jobird , yes payments can be applied to orders. Your linked (sales) accounts should include a liability account for customer deposits. When a payment is applied to an order, MYOB will credit that account. On conversion to an invoice the deposit will be automatically transferred to the credit of the receivables account.

Hi Jobird , I recently recommended another forum user with a similar issue to create the sale as an order, but print it as an invoice to send to the customer for payment. Then on shipment, convert to an invoice. Would this work for you?

    Hi Mike, 

     

    It will partly work. When the funds are received from the customer, they can't be marked off against the Sales Order as being paid, can they? 

     

    Kind Regards,

        Thanks so much Mike_James ,

         

        Is there a way of getting MYOB to have a look at how Inventory handles Prepayments going forward? It might be another option at the Build/Buy/Backorder stage.

         

        Kind Regards,
