A pre-paid expected purchase invoice is an expected invoice created for a payment made in advance by a buyer for goods or services. You can create a pre-paid expected purchase/goods invoice from the contract screen using the button “create prepaid goods invoice expectations”. The amount of the pre-paid expected purchase/goods invoice depends on the pre-payment percentage agreed between the trader and the seller. These pre-paid expected purchase invoices are later booked as expected purchase invoices.

You can only create one pre-paid expected purchase/goods invoice for a contract line.

When creating orders for such contracts with pre-paid invoices, the expected goods invoice is created for the remaining percentage of the contract if not fully pre-paid. If fully paid, that is, if the pre-payment percentage is 100%, you cannot create a regular expected goods invoice on the order line.

The prepaid purchase invoices after booking are available on the export screen like regular purchase invoices and thus can be exported and handled like normal invoices in the accounting software to track their payment status.
