i dont know if this is available or doable !!!
i need something where in orders the invoice button is only displayed if the orders are fully paid for ..
what im trying to achieve is something called laybuy a customer purchases products but the products remain in the store until the products are fully paid for .. here we call it laybuy . a deposit is given and a period is stipulated that is laybuys are for a period of say 6 months and if the client don't pick-up his laybuy within the period he forfeits the laybuy . the monies is refunded to him with a penalty .. in this period of time the goods remain at the store . whenever the customer pays for the laybuy he will come with his slip and the balance outstanding will be displayed on his slip ..hmmmm don't know if this is explained easily ..

All are sales are to Spanish customers, we call this Compra en Reserva we have a pre-printed document that states the terms... the customer signs it... in erp we just do a sales invoices to that customer with the amount paid (required for the layaway) mark the items with the invoice number and remove them floor stock, then we add payments to that invoice as the customer is required.

I plan to use the (Select file to attach:) in the sales/invoice to keep track of these agreements.

It's called layaway in the US. Alvin is correct, generate a Sales/Invoice and collect payment towards the invoice until it is paid off and then release the product to the customer. You should remove it from inventory (and the sales area) to a special layaway area until either the product is paid for in full or cancelled and returned to stock.
