A layby account can only be used for one sale. If a customer has a layby completed or cancelled, and wants to purchase more products on layby, a new layby account must be created.

To create a new layby account:

  1. Select POINT OF SALE | DOCKET CREATION.

Micronet displays the Enter Transaction screen.

  1. Select LAYBY | NEW LAYBY.

Micronet displays the Enter Customer Details screen.

  1. Complete the following fields:

Layby Code

Micronet generates the layby account code.

Enter the customer's first name followed by their last name.

 

Post Address 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Enter up to five lines of postal address details for the customer, e.g. unit number, street address, suburb and state.

Note that the details you enter here are used by Micronet to send late payment letters, so ensure they are correct.

 

Post Code

Enter the customer's postcode. This enables postcode sales reporting or searching by postcodes.

 

Phone Number

Enter the customer's phone number. If you only know the customer's mobile number, enter it in this field.

 

Contact

Enter a contract name if required.

 

Sales Territory

Enter the customer's default sales territory if required, or you can press Enter to select a sales territory. This allows grouping of customers into sales territories or regions for reporting and analysis.
