What if the customer pays half on collection?

Record the part payment. The balance moves; the original job stays exactly as it was written.

Can I keep parts and labour apart?

Yes. They are separate accounts, so you can see which one is actually making you money.

Does it handle what I owe the factors?

Every supplier carries a running balance. Ask and you get the list, by name.

For mechanics and workshop owners in Ireland

Parts, labour, and the car being collected on Friday.

Parts on account from three factors, jobs half-paid on collection, and cars released before anybody writes the invoice.
