Layby

The following presumes that you are viewing either the POS Summary or POS Details screen.

A layby is a sale where the goods are not handed over to the customer until they make the final payment on the amount due. The details are left to the individual business and are subject to state and local laws.

From the Main or Details POS interface Click the “All other Trans” (F8) button and select LayBy. You are prompted for the purchasers name (if not already in the database you can create a new contact record for them) and then for the amount and any comment.

Add items to be included in the layby just as you would for a normal sale. Payment proceeds as normal with the purchaser paying an initial deposit. They should be informed about the payment schedule and the conditions applying to every aspect of the layby including any time limit that may void the layby.

Specific text relating to Laybys can be specified using the Setup Invoices interface. Click the Laybys tab and specify text and the payment cycle in days. This text is printed on each payment docket for that layby and specifies the next payment date.
