Repetitive Invoicing

We would like to allow some customers to pay their invoice on a 6-month payment schedule. I see that we can use repetitive invoicing and set up up for a 6-month period but we want to take the sale upfront. Does the repetitive invoicing replace the traditional invoice? I was hoping we could invoice it the traditional way with terms as 6 mos and have repetitive invoice generate a monthly invoice reminding the customer of the monthly installment due. Similar to paying in installments.

Similar to buying a computer on time. The sales receipt shows the total but you pay in installments. If I can only use repetitive invoice it does allow for the complete sale to be realized only one payment at a time right? Is there another payment option I am missing to keep track of when these customers installments are due for credit card processing?

Thank you,

Brenda

    Idea: post the six invoices (with different dates? ...or one big invoice for the 6-month term), and process the lump sum Cash Receipt against those posted invoices.

    You could also process the cash receipt as a pre-payment, and apply the PP to invoices as you go, but that involves extra data entry steps... and would only make sense if you don't know what the monthly invoices look like in advance (or you are not shipping inventory all at once).

    Repetitive invoices are for making data entry easier with virtually duplicated invoice data... independent of considerations for how those invoices are paid.
