| For long-term projects, such as the building of a ship, you can request prepayments from the business partner before you deliver the goods. When you send an invoice for advance payment to the business partner, the amount must be posted to a separate control account for advance installment invoices or advance receipt requests. The tax amount must be posted when the advance invoice is paid.
