How to manage deposits paid on quotations

Post by Altna » 15 Feb 2012, 18:40

Good evening
I hope you can help. Although I have used Sage for several years I only really know the basics.
I have just started a new job and inherited quite a mess!

My question is this:
The business is raising Quotes for cash sale customers. They do not want to convert these into invoices as the final price is often different ie alternative items supplied; goods ordered in for customer has a different price. How should these deposits be entered into Sage so that they eventually tie up with the final invoice. The owners of the business are currently entering the deposit on the payment tab of the quotation. Is this correct and is this deducted from the final invoice when it is produced? Would this transaction show up in the activity for the Cash Sales Account? No-one seems to know if they are doing the right thing or not and I have not had to process deposits on a quotation before.

Thanks for reading this. I hope it makes sense.

Regards

Heather

Your deposits are not deposits, they are prepayments.

There are lots of ways to handle them.

Are you VAT registered and are you on Cash accounting or Standard Accounting?
