Before we begin let us go over what a prepayment is.  A prepayment is a payment you are taking in that you are not yet applying to an invoice as the client may have not been invoiced yet.  If you are paying a specific invoice you want to create the payment directly on that invoice as per the info linked here.

  •  Click on the plus icon and choose the Record New Prepayments option.

  • Fill in the the fields you require.

  • Enter a qty of 1 and the amount of the payment.  You can also have BusinessMind calculate the tax rate on the payment or simply select No Tax. (if you do not see a no tax option please email support@dcit.com so they can assist you).

  • The description field located below the payment line is for the payment type

  •  Click the save icon to save the prepayment.

  • Once the prepayment is saved you can choose to allocate it towards existing invoices.  You can do this now or at a later time if you would like.

  • From the prepayment detail view click on the gear icon

  • Choose the Allocate Credit option

  • This will display all open invoices that the prepayment can be allocated to. 

  • You can allocate a prepayment over multiple invoices

  • Fill in the Amounts then click the Allocate Credit button to save
