When funds are received in to the bank account, and they are posted as a prepayment, please can an option be added to "send receipt" in exactly the same way as it is for a direct payment.

Previous conversation on this topic says it is not on a priority list but I don't understand why the nature of receipt changes the options available to acknowledge the payment. I know there is a work around. But it takes 6 extra clicks on every transaction!!

We also take prepayments from a large number of our customers and the ability to issue receipts for money received as a deposit is critical for our business. Not only does this assure our clients that we have received the money they have transferred to us, but it also acts as a record keeping measure to show that clients have agreed to buying a product and service from us, and that they were aware of that agreement.

So Xero have been "considering" this for almost 10 years! We take a prepayment off every single customer and they like to know their money has been received. Yes there is a work around but it is about 6 extra clicks on EVERY SINGLE transaction. WHY can't it just be "send receipt" like it is a for a normal payment? Literally copy and paste the coding? Surely?

We also take deposits for work to be completed and record this as a prepayment. Naturally clients would like a receipt for their payment. Surely this is a basic function for an accounting package??

It would be very useful to have the facility to send remittance advice on the day of payment without having to wait up to 24 hours for the transaction to show on the account

This would be extremely helpful as a way to show the client we have received their deposit/prepayment.

This would be extremely helpful, particularly when you have to make several pre payments as the there is a limit on what you can pay one supplier in one transaction and they can than allocate clearly if they can see what the pre payment relates too

I get prepayments from clients and can’t currently send them a proper receipt for them in Xero. Badly needed functionality!

This is important for building clients who take upfront deposits prior to commencement of work

This would be a great feature to add. As a law firm we often have client money that in Xero is treated like a prepayment. Currently we cannot send any remittance for invoices that are paid using a prepayment.

We have the same process as Karen Matthews below and also need to send remittances. In addition, we also refund overpayments often, and need to send remittances from the overpayments screen once refunds are entered there.

This is important to us as we get deposits for planned works and load as a prepayment to allocate once the job is completed and invoiced, and have no way to send a receipt for it

Yes this would be a huge benefit for us!
