I just posted this on the Alpha Forum... But I don't think it will last there long, so I am posting it here...
Alpha, you ask us to trust you, yet every time I turn around, something negative shows up. I'm speaking of the customers INVOICE. I ask EVERYONE to look at your INVOICE. Alpha lists everyone's DEPOSIT, NOT as a deposit , but as an " ORDER DISCOUNT".
When it comes TAX time, just try listing an " ORDER DISCOUNT" as an expense. I's sure that Alpha has some screwed up reason for listing a " DEPOSIT " as an "ORDER DISCOUNT" , but I don't believe it is in the best interest of the customer. ( Maybe it's because you can't REFUND a DISOUNT.)
If you are going to take my money... At least let me be able to deduct it from my Taxes . Call a DEPOSIT, a DEPOSIT.
Just as I suspected, this post didn't last on the Alpha site for all of 10 minutes...
The funny thing is that Fiaz started to delete his own posts as well. He went into deleting frenzy mode again.
