Managing deposit payments during the procurement process is essential for businesses that require upfront payments for large or custom orders. The **Purchase Deposit** feature allows businesses to request and track deposit payments for purchase orders, ensuring that deposits are received and recorded accurately before the full order is processed. This feature provides greater financial control and helps businesses secure partial payment before committing to large purchases, reducing financial risk.
This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that work with suppliers requiring deposits for high-value or custom goods. By automating the process of requesting deposits, the **Purchase Deposit** feature ensures that procurement teams can easily collect and track deposit payments, reducing manual effort and improving cash flow management. It also ensures that suppliers receive upfront payments as agreed, helping businesses maintain strong supplier relationships.
Functionality at a glance:

- Enhances supplier relationships by automating the process of requesting and managing deposits, ensuring timely payments.
This feature is particularly valuable for businesses that handle large purchases, custom orders, or high-value goods. For example, a manufacturing company ordering specialized equipment can use the **Purchase Deposit** feature to request a deposit before confirming the purchase. The system automatically generates a deposit invoice, ensuring that the supplier receives a partial payment upfront, reducing financial risk for both parties and ensuring smooth order processing.
Example Use Case:
A construction company that sources materials for large projects can benefit from the **Purchase Deposit** feature by requesting a deposit payment when placing an order for bulk materials. The system tracks the deposit payment and ensures that the full order is processed only once the deposit is received. This reduces financial risk for the company and provides the supplier with the necessary financial commitment to begin fulfilling the order.
In summary, the **Purchase Deposit** feature helps businesses manage deposit payments for purchase orders, securing partial payment upfront and reducing financial risk. By automating the deposit request and tracking process, this feature improves cash flow management and enhances supplier relationships.
