Deposit on a purchase order

Nov 20, 2010 2 Replies

I sent a purchase order to a supplier for x number of items. He reduced the x to give me a better price (overall price has dropped by around 5% so I'm happy with that). He has asked for and I've since paid, 20% deposit. He's not shown what he's cut out in the original PO. When he has the order together and ready for delivery I pay the balance. Do I make an entry in QB now for the deposit or wait until the balance is paid and I know what items I'm getting? Thank you.


Enter now to Accounts Payable with the vendor in the "customer" field. This establishes a credit with the vendor which can be applied to their invoice when it is corrected.

Best,

Peter
