Advanced Invoices are created from sales orders within NetSuite. These transactions associate an advanced payment to a specific sales order. Users can create one or more advanced invoices for a single sales order. An advanced invoice can use the full or partial amount of the advanced payment. However, users cannot exceed the total advanced payment received.
Note: A single advanced payment can be associated with multiple advanced invoices for the same or different sales orders, while a single advanced invoice can only be associated with ONE (1) sales order.
Warning! It is advised that only a maximum of FIVE (5) advanced invoices are created for a single sales order. Anything beyond the limit is subject to performance limitations of your account.
