Hi - the amount outstanding in the available token field shows: {amount_outstanding} Total amount left to pay (Invoice total - sum of payments).
We did a test. Created an invoice and made a 50% payment on it. On the invoice the amount outstanding shows 0 (no changes made on the invoice template).
The token field shows Invoice Total (ie 1000) - Sum of payments (ie 500) which should equal 500.
I read the other post on it but that will create confusion as an invoice has a total to be paid on it. When a client pays a portion that needs to be shown as well as the outstanding amount still owed. If another "payment" needs to be created it will open up endless possibilities for a lot of errors as people might enter the wrong amount, leave out a zero, allocate to the wrong invoice, etc.
Is there a token which works this out exactly that can be added to the invoice template? (in short invoice amount minus any payments made equals total amount outstanding). Thanks.

0This is SOOO stupid! Now I have to make out a payment beforehand and if I don't but I have an invoice made out, the outstanding is 0.
Now I have hundreds of students who I invoice for a course for the year for say R50 000. but immediately say they do not owe anything. outstanding is 0. Now I have to go and make 10 payments of R5000 each and hope they all pay each month. And if they do then I have to go tick off that payment. Now they only make part payment of payment, and I now have to go manually adjust every single payment. This is a huge manual work and I fired a person because of it. and now realised why she could not manage. One should not have to go and manually add a payment beforehand for it to show a client have an outstanding balance. This is so wrong. It should be invoice - payments added. We use a CSV payments file we get each month that we want to import againts an invoice, without having to struggle to create a lot of payments manually beforehand, since we do not know how many payments and the accurate amount beforhand. Excuse me i do not mean to sound rude. I am not, I am just very frustrated that the invoice manager is not working as normal other invoice managers we used to work with, and now I paid for this and it is not working very functional or practical. What will it cost me to get it ammended? -

0My solution, a one-liner :-) See image attached.
The fix! Go edit the file --> /components/com_invoices/views/invoice/tmpl/default.php at about line 363: $amount_outstanding = $total - $subtotal_payments;
Then whenever there is a pending payment manually entered or not the outstanding amount will at least correctly show the invoice amount minus the payments made.
I hope this helps :-)Attachments:
