Partial invoices

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying for some time to find a way to issue partial invoices in MEWS.
For example: when we have a wedding at our venue, we send an invoice one month in advance for a 50% prepayment of the total amount.

At the moment, I do this by sending a pro forma invoice with a note stating that it is a 50% partial invoice. Once the payment is received, I process it as an external payment and then issue the final invoice with the correct amount, so that the payment is properly recorded in the system.

To me, it seems only logical that there should be an option to create a partial invoice for a specific amount.

Does anyone know if this is possible in MEWS?

Hi ​@wilcoschuitemaker!

Maybe sending a payment request would make more sense to guests, because there you would be able to state that it covers 50% of the proforma invoice (which you sent separately). 

Another option is to create a non-revenue accounting category for deposit requests and create an Additional Product for this (with 0% VAT). This way, you can add an extra bill and post the amount of 50% in 1 Product and then send out the proforma. 

Regards, Sanne
