Enter the full payment.It will come up as credit. When you invoice the next job it will ask you if you want to deduct it from their credit.

Found a better way. Complete all the jobs for the client and they will appear in the Who Needs Invoices section. Sort it by Customer and then use the control key to highlight all the jobs for that customer. Raise the invoice and they are all printed on the invoice. It actually tells you how to do this at the bottom of the Who Needs Invoices page.

"Success occurs when no one is looking, failure occurs when everyone is watching."
That's what I do. Also when I have someone who doesn't pay last month's invoice (I have a couple of "slow" payers) I go to invoices and delete last month's invoice then go to Who Needs Invoices and it will show up there. I select both jobs and print it, then write the previous invoice number and highlight the job in red. I don't tend to invoice when I do the job.....mostly I invoice at the end of the month. Most of my invoices are commercials and with a couple of exceptions, they all pay towards the end of the next month regardless of what your trading terms are stated on the invoice. I'm working out when their individual pay cycles are and this summer will start invoicing them a week before their payment cycle. Generally it seems to be around the end of the 3rd week of the month so I'll be invoicing them at the end of the second week.
What extra "Expense Categories" have people added to KIE?

I have
Accounting
Advertising
Consumables - oils, whippersnipper cord, poisons, mower blades etc etc
Dump Fees - Just for my own info
Maintenance - Repairs and maintenance to any plant & equipment
Mower Fuel
Vehicle Fuel
Plant & Equipment
Postage
Standing Costs - Things like insurance, rego etc
Telephone
Miscellaneous - anything I don't have a category for
I can't remember what was in there originally but that's what I have. My accountant is happy enough with that and it gives me a good enough idea on where the money is going. When you make a payment, in addition to the category you also have the option to put in exactly what it is for so Whippersnipper cord for example gets filed under Consumables as Whippersnipper cord so at any time I can look up how much I have spent on cord
Accounting Fees, Advertising, Bank Fees, Car Expenses for other 1/2, Computer Supplies, Creditcard, Electricity, Fuel & Oil Ute, Fuel & Oil mowers, Home Phone & Internet, Insurance, Interest Paid, Licences, Loan Payments, Meals, Misc, Mobile Phone, New Plant & Equipment, Office Equipment, Owners Drawings, Postage, Printing & Stationary, Prptective Clothing, Purchase of Materials, Rates & Land Taxes, Registrations ( for business ), Repairs and Maintenance, Rubbish Fees, Subscriptions, Sundry payments, Tax services, Tools, Transfers to other Accounts (Money to Tax account), Travel & Accomodation & Ute Expenses.
Hope this helps
Thanks guys, I've got a few of these so i hope im on the right track!

You can actually add expense categories on the fly .. that is, as something new crops up that you want itemised you can add it in then enter the expense.
Its a pretty good system - I asked Selina recently if she could add a 'quote' system or a proforma invoice that can be used when quoting big jobs - something that looks like an invoice but says quote and can be changed nto an invoice if the quote is accepted and completed. Said she would think about it...
Received an email from Selina yesterday, which I guess most of you would have, with news of some updates and new features to the program.
Yep all done and dusted, works fine for me, love being able to set credit days per clients as some of mine are 14 days and the rest are 7 days, used to have to keep remembering to change to 14 days when invoicing and I would forget most of the time and would get a call about change of trading terms. Now I don't have to worry, plus lots more room for description of what garden work I have carried out.
Just doing some work on KIE and had Selina fixing a small issue for me. Whilst doing that I had an idea about being able to send our clients a doc that lists all thier book jobs. They can print it out and put it on the notice board or fridge. Could have reminders to open gates, pick up dog poo and take items off lawns. Could also add msg on up sell of services. Selina is going to work on it.

Selina was going to make the option that we could default our own email message instead of the default one that comes with the software. That did not update with this new update. I just highlight the text and delete all then add my own message and Signature. A default message would be easier.
Yeah the option is here in the preferences just doesn't work
