If for some reason you do not have to pay the total amount of an invoice (advance payment, partial payment, ...), you can also enter part of the amount.
In this way, the outstanding balance is automatically adjusted instead of showing the remaining amount including VAT.
So you have control over the amount to be paid for your incoming invoice and the amount previously paid.
For example: a supplier sends you an invoice of € 1000, you have already made a deposit of € 100. This means that you still have to pay € 900 for this invoice. If you want to indicate that this invoice has been partially paid, you only have to adjust the amount paid and therefore indicate € 100. The amount of your outstanding balance is automatically adjusted.
Procedure:
Go to the invoice detail page
Click in the Amount Paid field and type the amount already paid for this invoice
Don't forget to save the change by clicking Save.
You will then notice that the Outstanding balance box is automatically adjusted with the amount that you still have to pay.
