Link Payment To Invoice in SAP B1 2007A

Question

Hi All,
I have a case like this :
Customer A have deposit $1000 without any sales order.
In SBO we entry that transaction as Incoming Payments from Customer A with Payment On Account $1000.
Then
After one month, customer A want to buy items from our company $400
we enter that transaction as Sales Order, Delivery Order and AR Invoice to Customer A $400.
If we want to link the Payments $1000 and the AR Invoice $400, so the outstanding deposit is $600.
The Question is : In SAP B1 2007a, how to entry the transaction?.If we entry it as reconciliation, we need to entry adjustment jurnal to balance $1000 and $400.
In SAP B1 2005. there is Link Payments to Invoice Menu, so we can link the payment on account to Invoice. But in SAP B1 2007a I can't found it.
Anybody know how to resolve the case in SAP B1 2007?

Hi,
The internal reconciliation feature in B1 2007A can't do what Ratna want.
Try to test this example:
- Customer transfers 10,000 USD for pay their invoices in the future.
Cashier will use incoming payment --> tick payment on account and input 10,000 USD. then she uses bank transfer account as payment.
The journal is :
Cr. A/R account 10,000 USD
Dr. Bank transfer 10, 000 USD
- Customer purchased a certain item and then an invoice created for the customer. This invoice directly reduces the deposit on the customer A/R account to be 9,000 USD. The journal is a standard invoice journal but the balance due of the customer still exists. It means that there is no system reconciled yet.
- To reconcile, open reconciliation form under Business partner --> internal reconciliation. Tick the open invoice and using the adjustment, select create journal entry and then select the bank transfer account and then add the journal entry. After that, reconciliation is made. It will make the customer deposit become 10,000 USD again. if both are reconciled (1st incoming payment  and the invoice) by creating a journal entry, it will debit the customer A/R account and credit bank transfer account. The result after reconciled is zero account balance of the customer. Does it means that the customer still have the deposit ? I am sure it won't.
