Adrien,

Orders are NOT invoices. They may be binding legal documents, but they are
NOT invoices. So a prepayment on an order is NOT a payment on an invoice.

I suggest you put a line in the order template stating that for the services
the customer wants / needs, a 50% prepayment is a conditional part of the
ordering proces. I.e. work will start AFTER receipt of cash / cheque.

On the invoice you send out AFTER the work is done, you simply apply the
check or cash allready received.

Now the remaining 50% have payment conditions as defined for A/R customers
in general (or if needen, you can do that as fancy as you like).
