Prepayments are amounts paid by a customer in advance of the goods or services being received later on. Any payment made in advance can be considered a prepayment.
Prepayment of an order takes place when a seller receives a form of payment from the customer at the time of order entry. Many types of prepayments are available for a customer to use, such as cash, check, and credit card. When you make any type of prepayment, the system records transaction information for each order detail line, and indicates the payment on the invoice.
