About work order deposits

Service Receivables features are available only if you have purchased the Service Receivables Add-On Module.

In working with your clients, you might have to enter a deposit on a work order. Suppose a client provides a prepayment of $30 on a work order for $160. This amount has to be reflected in the client's invoice or statement and deducted from the total.

When you save a work order with a deposit, Sage 100 Contractor enters the deposit amount in the general ledger as a credit to the client. In other words, you have been paid for work that you have not performed. When you print an invoice or statement, however, the deposit is deducted from the invoice or statement total.

Tips:

• You can modify service invoice and statement report forms so that they show work order deposits and deduct them from the total amount due. (Your business partner can help you to modify these forms if you are unsure how to do so.)

• Refunding a service receivables credit uses the same procedure as refunding an accounts receivable check. How?
