How do I invoice for a balance amount due?

I am using QB online and I have a tourism business. I have invoiced the client for the deposit of 20% which has been paid. I managed to do that invoice but can't remember how!!! Now I need to invoice for the 80% balance. In the deposit invoice, I had it all line-itemed with each line's quantity at 20% of the total quantity against the cost per item, for example, 0.4 as 20% of 2 of something, etc.

Now I need to generate the same format invoice but for the 80% balance. When I do try, it comes up with the exact same invoice structure, with everything line-itemed at 20%, but adds in the sales amount of the 80% as a line item.

What I would like to do, is have the invoice reflect each line item as 80% of the total, then add in the funds received, and show the balance due at the bottom.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Robert, Good to see you in the Community! What you can do is create an invoice for the full amount and then utilise the deposit box option to deduct the amount already paid. If you do not have this turned on you can go to the cog in the top right>account and settings>sales>deposit>toggle on and save. Then exit that section. Then on the invoice, you can type in the amount already paid which will then leave the amount to pay if that makes sense.
