What is Partial Payment in Odoo18

The steps below guide you through understanding and performing “Partial Payment” in Odoo 18. This workflow explains how to process partial payments for invoices, demonstrating how to apply a portion of the total amount due, track the remaining balance, and complete the payment in multiple installments. This feature is particularly useful for managing customer payments flexibly.

• Navigate to Invoices: From the Odoo web application, go to the “Invoicing” module and then to the “Invoices” section.
• Select an Unpaid Invoice: Identify an invoice with a “Not Paid” status and click on it to open its details.
• Initiate Partial Payment: Click the “Register Payment” button within the invoice to start the payment process.
• Enter Partial Amount: In the payment pop-up, enter the partial amount you wish to pay (e.g., ₹600 for an invoice of ₹1536) and click “Create Payment”.
• View First Partial Payment: The invoice will now show “Partially Paid” status, with the first payment recorded.
• Make Subsequent Partial Payment: To make another payment, click “Register Payment” again. The system will display the remaining amount due (e.g., ₹936). Enter this amount and click “Create Payment”.
• Verify Full Payment: After the second partial payment, the invoice status will change to “Paid,” and the amount due will be zero. This demonstrates how multiple partial payments can settle a single invoice.
