Sale Advance Payment Module

The sale_advance_payment module adds support for advance payment management on the sale.

The module adds a new document: the Advance Payment Term that defines how the shipment or the supply processes should be managed. Either process can be completely delayed until the advance payments are paid.

Two new fields are added to Sale:

• Advance Payment Term

• Advance Payment Conditions

The conditions are computed at the quotation of the sale if a payment term is set.

When the sale is processed the advance payment invoices are created, final invoices will be generated when this advance payment invoices are paid. Those invoices will take into the account the amount previously paid by the customer.

Warning
