Record a down payment
EVERYONEUpdated 23 Sep 2026·2 min read
Vendors often want a deposit up front and the rest closer to event day. Track that as one expense with a down payment, not two separate lines.
Why it's one line
Keeping the deposit and the balance on the same expense shows the true total committed to that vendor, what's been paid and what's still owed, all in one place.
How to record one
When adding or editing an expense, enter the full amount and fill in Down payment with the amount paid and its date. The Expenses card counts the down payment as paid and the rest as still owed.
When the balance is paid, mark the expense Paid. Edit the same expense, set its status to Paid and add the date. There's no need for a separate line for the final payment.
