How do I show the deposit received on a printed Sales Invoice?

Sage 50 tracks the deposit amount in the system but doesn't have a tracking tool for customer-showing purposes.

Sage 50 has the following ways to give that information to the customer:

Workaround I: Print the original invoice and also the Customer Statement.

1. The customer statement will show the invoice(s) due and the deposit amount given so far.
2. Select Reports, Customers & Sales, Customer Statements to print the Customer Statement.
3. Deposit amounts that have been received in the Receipts Journal will show up there.
4. You can receive a deposit (partial payment) in in two ways:
   • In the Amount Received column.
   • In the Deposit Amount box
5. If the Deposit Amount box doesn't appear in the Receipts Journal: Select Receipt, then Enter Deposits.

Note: The box will then show up at the bottom of the window.

Workaround II: Modify the original invoice by adding a new line item with a description only

1. Reopen the invoice
2. Select Sales, then Adjust Invoice.
3. Enter a description noting a deposit was received in the first available Description column

   Note: There is no accounting change to that invoice; only details for customer information. The printed invoice will still show the original amount owed at the bottom but also the deposit/balance added update will be part of the invoice.

4. Print the invoice
5. Select Post (or Process).

   Note: The description will remain on this invoice irrespective of whether the invoice is eventually fully paid.

6. If the deposit has not yet been processed: Open the Receipts window.
7. Process the deposit/partial payment as normal.
