Can the SOPs and POPs have a facility so that if the order has Stage (milestone) payments, there is a way to facilitate this easily without having to mess with the stock parts? We process contracts that often have stage payments in the orders and Sage 200 has no way to do this easily!
We currently have to create the stock items and then 100% discount them so there is zero cost on all items on the order.
Then we create a free text line for each of the stages (30%, 60%, 10% as an example) so that the invoice can be generated against these free text lines.
The downside to this is that when we analyse the sales - the values are zero!

Totally get this. There are many instances where a payment schedule may be agreed against the delivery of an order.
