Record a booking advance or deposit and show the paid amount

In the sales application: Record a partial or full payment against a booking without creating customer debt.

1. Step 1

   When creating a booking, enter the money actually received in Amount received in advance. You may receive part or all of the service price.

2. Step 2

   Choose the actual method: cash, card or bank transfer. Enter the amount in the company currency, including tax.

3. Step 3

   For an existing booking, open its details and Record an advance. Enter only the new amount, select the method, then Save payment and keep appointment.

4. Step 4

   Review paid and remaining amounts in the booking details and list. The daily schedule card also displays the paid amount.

5. Step 5

   A payment cannot exceed the remainder. When completing the service, previous advances are included automatically; enter only the remainder received now.

The advance is part of the service price, not a credit sale. For a total of OMR 20 and an advance of OMR 5, paid is 5 and remaining is 15. The invoice is issued when the service is completed after settling the remainder; the advance is not collected twice.
