Recording Customer Payment

When you Complete a Sales Order which was a Cash order, the Payment Form will appear.

 

After selecting the Payment Type - see Cash Sales And Payment - you will need to enter the Customer's payment details in the available Payment Method fields as described below. See:

 

What Happens After The Customer Has Paid In Full?

Once the balance of the order has been paid in full, the payment procedure is complete.

 

The Picking, Delivery and Invoicing cycle will continue based on the order type and on your installation configuration, whereby the goods are picked and delivered as necessary and a Sales Invoice is issued.

 

For example, if it is a Collect Now order in which full Cash payment has been made, your installation will typically be configured so that the Picking Note, Despatch Note and Sales Invoice are automatically confirmed and printed at the point of sale. The Sales Order is therefore placed in the Finder with a Status of Invoiced (i.e. the item has been Picked and Despatched and a Sales Invoice has been issued), meaning the sale is complete.

Complete Order: Taking Payment

If the Customer is paying in full (Payment Type = Complete Order):

Select the Customer's method of payment (e.g. Cash, Cheque, Mastercard, Visa, Pro-forma invoice etc.) in the Payment Method (1) field, enter the amount tendered in the field to the right, then click the Tab key.

 

Note: The Payment Method (2) field - and additional Amount field - enables you to take two forms of payment for the order. In the example below the Customer is paying £100 by cheque and the remainder in cash.

Note: The 'Credit Voucher' option - if available in the Payment Method menus - enables the customer to redeem one or multiple Credit Vouchers as payment for the Sales Order. See Credit Vouchers: Customer Redemption. For details on setting up and issuing Credit Vouchers on Completion of a Credit Note see Working With Credit Vouchers.
