Is there any way to add a line for "Unpaid Balance" to an Invoice template?

I'd like to be able to just send a new invoice that shows both the current charges and any outstanding amounts from past invoices. So far I haven't had any luck figuring this out on my own.

(This is a little different than the "report" for unpaid balances - I'd just like to add it to an invoice being sent out.)

Thanks,
Scott

I too would like to know if there is a way to add a line for balance due on an invoice.
unless there is an option for it depending on how acct's are set up to be received? I am not sure if that is the solution, but would love to know.

You can use the retainer feature to apply pre-payments to the invoice before creating it. Then it will show the payment applied and remaining balance on the invoice.

So, a negative pre-payment to show that there's still $$$$$ owing from previous invoices?

In my case, I invoice every month, but some clients are behind in paying me, so I'd like to remind them that they still owe me for last month when I send this month's invoice.

The issue isn't about pre-payments - it's about lack of payment. I wish I had to account for more pre-payments!

Sorry, I misread your question. No, retainers are not appropriate here.

What I do instead is send the client a copy of the "unpaid invoices by client" report along with the invoice.

There's probably a way but I don't really know how you'd get that total onto the invoice template.
