Advance Payment for vendor

I spent two weeks trying to setup dolibarr to my needs and now I started using it…really shocked that when I reach to the point I want to make advance payment to a vendor, I couldn’t! I thought these are ABC and did not look at them before…anyone can help with a code or something to be able to create standalone credit note for vendors or payment in advance? Thanks

any reply here please?

Hi,

We ran into more or less the same problem.

As a work-around we created a negative invoice for the same amount that we pre-paid to the vendor, dated on the date of payment. Once this invoice is validated it will show the "convert excess paid into available discount’ at the bottom.
And since this button does exactly what is says, you will end up with the same amount as credit dat can be used for payment of actually invoices at a later date

Hope this helps
