A: Hey Fran - great Q... HoneyBill treats invoices as fully paid or fully unpaid, so you can't take a deposit and have the same invoice update with a balance owing.

The plan is to let an invoice hold multiple payments with a running balance, so a $1,000 invoice can take a $500 deposit and reflect $500 still owing until your client comes back to pay the rest.

You can see on the roadmap, upvote and follow along here:

(In the meantime the workaround is splitting into two invoices.)
