There are two ways to do this.  You can add a negative fixed-price entry in the Time & Sales screen.  The entry will appear on the next invoice and deduct itself from the total of fixed hours.  The other method would be to receive a payment on the Invoicing Screen. If you use the second method, you will need to issue a statement, or the client won't see the credit.
