Experimenting a little in sales order. Don't know if I'm just spacing it at the moment or I have just never tired this before. I know that when you enter a sales order with a deposit that nothing is posted to the general ledger (or to A/R for that matter). You must do a cash receipt entry to actually record the deposit. Now, let's say you have an order for $500 and you take a $200 deposit. When you turn the order into an invoice using a standard sale it will automatically apply the deposit, but what if you want to record the $300 remaining payment accepted at the time of invoicing as cash or check? There does not seem to be a way of applying the deposit and the new payment at the same time. If you accept a credit card, there is an option. If you do a cash sale it applies the deposit but does not give you the opportunity to accept an additional payment, plus nothing gets posted to the customer's account for history. G/L posting applies the open balance to Other Receivables in the ABC demo data (which is the account that cash sales is set to in division maintenance)..
