Allow partial / manual allocation of available deposit credits in Projects module
In Xero Projects, when a deposit has been invoiced (eg via the deposit option in the Projects invoicing workflow), the "available credit" shows in the Projects UI.
However, when raising subsequent progress invoices (eg for tasks/expenses), the "Apply credit deposit" checkbox is all-or-nothing - it applies the full available credit or none. There's no option to manually enter or select a partial amount from the deposit/credit balance to apply to the current invoice.
Requested enhancements:
- In the Projects "New Invoice" screen, replace or supplement the binary "Apply credit deposit" checkbox with a field to enter/select a partial amount from the available credit/deposit balance.
- Ensure the Projects UI accurately reflects applied credits (no persistent artefacts after manual handling, which I have had to do in the past to reverse a deposit booked to sales that should have been to income in advance).
- Optionally, allow this partial application to sync properly with the underlying credit balance.
