There are 2 ways to create a deposit invoice:

• From a quotation
• or from a draft invoice

Create a deposit invoice from a quotation

Once the quotation has been accepted by the customer, you can create the deposit invoice. To do this, you need to :

1. Select the desired accepted quotation
2. Click on "Deposit invoice".
    
3. Enter the amount of the deposit (in % of the total including VAT or in amount including VAT).
   By default, the deposit percentage is the one entered in the general settings.
4. Click on "Save".
5. Check the content then click on "Generate".
   

   If there is an error in the amount of the deposit, delete the deposit invoice and redo it from the quote or purchase order.

   
   
6. Then validate the creation of the down payment invoice by clicking on "Validate".
   

Once validated, it is possible to send by e-mail, download or open in PDF the deposit invoice to transmit it to the customer. 

It is also possible to enter the payment as soon as it has been made (see details later in this article)

It is then possible to create a new deposit invoice by using the "+ Add new deposit invoice" button located under "Deposit invoice", or to directly create the final invoice by clicking on "Invoice". This will then take all the elements of the initial quotation and automatically deduct the elements of the validated deposit invoice(s), in order to invoice the remaining difference.

Créer une facture d’acompte à partir d’un projet de facture

La création d’une facture d’acompte ne peut être réalisée que si la facture est à l’état “Brouillon” ou “Produit”. Pour cela :

2. Cliquer sur “Acompte +Créer”
3. Sélectionner le montant de l’acompte (en % du total TTC ou en montant TTC).
   Par défaut, le pourcentage d’acompte est celui renseigné dans le paramétrage général.
4. Cliquer sur “Enregistrer”
   

5. Check the content then click on "Generate".

   
   

6. Valider ensuite la création de la facture d’acompte en cliquant sur “Valider”

Once validated, it is possible to send by e-mail, download or open in PDF the deposit invoice to transmit it to the customer. 

It is also possible to enter the payment as soon as it has been made (see details later in this article)

It is then possible to create a new deposit invoice by using the "+ Add new deposit invoice" button located under "Deposit invoice", or to directly create the final invoice by clicking on "Invoice".

This will then take all the elements of the initial quotation and automatically deduct the elements of the validated deposit invoice(s), in order to invoice the remaining difference.
