    Two possible resolutions. We take prepayments in Euros which is not our base currency, which is GBP.

    We do it by issuing a credit note to the client, and removing the allocation against the invoice. When they pay the invoice they now have a credit balance, against which we credit future invoices.

    Clunky but it works. It does give you a negative accounts payable and receivable, but we’re used to that.

    Alternatively move to a system called Iplicit. More expensive but much more powerful.

    I take advance payments from my clients on all transactions and also make advance payments to suppliers. I am UK based and all my business is in Euros so for me this is a critical issue.

    For @JoshuaWelch below, I currently create a bill and a credit note for the prepayment and then remove the credit allocation from the invoice. When we make the payment we now have a credit with the supplier. When the bill us for any transaction we simply apply the credit to their invoice.
