Pro
When making a deposit on a customer order, a customer is, in essence, purchasing deposit credits that can later be used to pay for the merchandise/service purchase. Thus, receiving a deposit is an activity tracked on reports but is not a merchandise sale. A virtually unlimited number of deposits can be recorded for each customer order.
You can configure Point of Sale company preferences so that a minimum initial deposit is suggested or required on new customer orders.
To take a deposit:
Create a new order or display an existing order.
Select Deposit/Payment from the I Want To menu.
The Take Deposit window is displayed. If this is the initial deposit and there is a suggested or required minimum deposit amount, it will be auto-filled.
Enter an amount or accept the suggested/required amount.
Select OK.
The deposit receipt Payment screen is displayed.
Take payment and save/print the deposit receipt.
