Although BusinessBasics does not track customer orders separately, you can use the Sales window to record details of an order just as you would a standard invoice. You record the order as you would a standard sale, entering the customer's deposit in the Paid Today field. You enter the word "Order" in the Customer PO # field to distinguish it from a regular sale. (This, incidentally, will also make it easier for you to find the transaction later- simply use Find Transactions with the Customer PO# field as the filter.) When you receive the item and the customer pays you the outstanding balance, record the payment as you normally would, in the Receive Payments window.
