    Have a client who requires 50% deposit on materials before beginning an order, then the remainder due before shipping.  This is a new process for them but will eventually affect 500+ customers.

    Are there any add-ons that provide better deposit processing than Sage currently has?  The choices now of either posting to GL and putting the amount on the Total tab OR of entering PP into Cash Receipts and then having to show the invoices as still being unpaid when sent to the customer are both less than desirable and the first option is certainly not scalable to 500+ customers.

    Howdy, Beth!
    The only package I know that posts deposits in real time and works with most processors is IIG's deposit processing.  ISM did have a package that would process deposits and work with bank recon to record when the deposits cleared your bank, but that only worked with one processor which is not Paya or APS.  I'm not sure who has that now that ISM was bought by SWK.

    I don't see a deposit processing on their web site.  Do you have a link?

    Hidden under their ISV solutions:
    https://www.iigservices.com/sage-pos-credit-card-processing
    Your client only needs the credit card processing portion, which is the payment processing part.  It handles all forms of payment.

    I don't think this is quite what I need.  I don't even think the client gets their deposits via CC - I think they are probably wire transfers.  What we need is just a better way of tracking multiple payments on a sales order, which occur over time.

    Does SO-1032 Multiple Deposits on Sales Order work for you?  Not sure if it integrates with Credit Cards though if needed.​

    It handles all payment types...including wire transfers.  And you don't have to use it for CC or ACH.  I had several customers that used it for multiple construction deposits which were all checks or wire transfers.  Nancy's suggestion of SO-1032 would probably work as well.

    I guess what I'm looking for is something really different than what Sage currently offers, with a lot more tracking.  I just feel like putting your faith in someone to never forget to pull up the SO and put the deposit on the Total tab is just not going to scale up.

    Ditto @Bob Sosbee  recommendation.  IIG CCP works well for all deposits including merchant processing.  Makes deposits Order-centric.  Creates a subsidiary to Customer Deposits liability on the B/S.

    I totally agree the method for handling deposits could use big improvements.  One way you have no visibility that a deposit is on file when looking in customer inquiry invoices.  The other way you have to have a method to track which PP-invoice gets tied to which regular invoice.  Most clients like the PP approach because it is at least visible as a credit when looking in the invoice tab in maintenance.  But then the invoice doesn't show the reduction of the PP when created! And accounting for it properly in the GL requires too much thought.  Good to know IIG may have something but it sucks having to introduce 3rd party enhancements that step on the code.
