Thank you to everyone for your passion, collaboration, and support. Here’s to building an even stronger community together in the year ahead!
Season’s greetings to you and yours! As we head into the holidays (December 24 – January 4), we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible strength and collaboration within our community. Even during the break, you can continue to benefit from connecting with peers, searching related threads, posting your questions, and marking helpful replies as “Accepted” in the Support Community.
Please note our dedicated team will be on reduced coverage during this time, and regular responsiveness will resume on January 5. Wishing you a joyful and restful holiday season!

Apply partial Customer Deposit, refund the remainder?
Problem here, for which I'd really appreciate any suggestions:
1) Customer places a large prepaid order and requests one additional case as a sample (free), to be shipped right away. Okay, we ship that case right away. The main order is to be shipped when payment is received. We create and approve a sales order for the main order and enter an inventory adjustment for the sample case (which posts the COGS amount to a samples expense account).
2) Payment is received and deposited; in NetSuite, it is entered as a Customer Deposit.
3) The customer cancels the order (which hasn't been shipped yet). They're keeping the sample case but agree to pay for it. We tell them that as soon as the check clears, we'll refund all of it except the amount for the one case.
