Payments in advance of brewing / racking

Hi

We are selling a whole one-off batch to a customer and the agreement is they pay in full prior to the brew day which they are happy to do :slight_smile:

The beer exists in Breww but we do not have any racked products in Breww so don’t know how to raise the invoice for beer that doesn’t exist. Any advice on how to add the future products to the invoice?

Finally, the invoice will be paid in March, but not delivered until April. Does this go on March’s duty return as we have sold it, or April’s as it will be in our duty suspense until then?

Thanks

Hi Mike, Thanks for your comment! You could create a planned batch in Breww with a ‘Planned packaging’; this would allow you to raise an order for the items and have the amount due to be packaged considered in the stock figure when adding it to the order, provided the delivery date scheduled is after the planned packaging date. This is discussed further here: Pre-orders with planned packagings. You could then select PDF → Email to customer and send the customer a Proforma invoice. When this stock is ready to be packaged, then you could package it, and assign it to the order. Duty will be incurred when you dispatch the stock in Breww, so if this is dispatched and delivered in April, then this will show in April’s return. I hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else. Cheers!
