How do i add a custom data field to an invoice template?
I need to add a field to be able to invoice customers for a percentage of the total
is there a way to apply the payment % requested in a line item off of the total instead of off each individual line item?
A Prepayment or Deposit request is not Half of the actual sale. It's a completely different Charge item.
Make an Other Charge type item and name it Prepayment. If you are an accrual basis entity, link it to Other Current Liability for Customer Deposits. Otherwise, a cash basis entity just got income, so you link it to Income.
Later, you make the actual sale, using Create invoice, for the same date as the sale. Then, you also list your prepayment item on a customer credit memo/refund transaction. There is no Refund, though. You apply this Credit to their invoice, to show the actual sales balance due is partially paid by the funds they send previously. That credit memo is where you put the prepayment item and the prepayment amount you already got from them.
