How do I create an invoice and subsequent time entries when billing in advance, such as obtaining a retainer or deposit for future work?

Table of Contents > Frequently Asked Questions > How do I create an invoice and subsequent time entries when billing in advance, such as obtaining a retainer or deposit for future work?

There’s three different ways to handle retainers.The first way would be to enter a negative Fixed-Price item in Time and Sales and put “Retainer” as the description.This will show up in the detail section of the invoice (but will be grouped with all other fixed price items on the cover page)
