Order deposits and partial fulfilment

An order deposit records money, not a goods movement. Check how the deposit is applied when the order is fulfilled.

Steps

1. Select prepayment on a purchase order or advance receipt on a sales order, enter the actual amount and account, and verify payment evidence.
2. After approval, check the generated payment record and advance balance. The order itself does not move stock.
3. Reference the order when receiving or delivering goods and inspect the brought-forward advance and current settlement.
4. For partial fulfilment, verify which document claims the advance. Do not manually enter the same deposit again on later documents.
5. Use the displayed outstanding amount for allocation and reconcile the order, money record and fulfilment document together.
