Enter Transaction - Layby Menu Options

The layby system can also be used for processing deposits and pre-payments from customers.

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.

The process for layby sales is the same as for cash sales with the exception of the initial payment process where a lesser amount than the sales value can be accepted. Micronet automatically defaults to the minimum payment percentage as entered in the company configuration (refer to "Edit - Applications - POS - Layby").

Once the initial payment has been made, POS prints a layby docket detailing the sales value, payment made, balance due and optionally the date before which the next payment should be paid.

Late payments can be tracked and two standard letters are provided to enable effective follow-up with your customers.

POS comes with a range of standard layby reports.

To create a new layby or process a layby payment:

1. Create a new layby, add the required items then close the Item Details screen.

Refer to "Creating a New Docket, Layby or Quote".

2. Alternatively, recall an existing layby.

Refer to "Enter Transaction - File - Load Held Layby".

Micronet displays the Enter Transaction screen.

3. You can perform any of the following edits or actions on the Enter Transaction screen if required:

• process a layby payment or finalise the layby - refer to "Enter Transaction - Layby - Layby Payment"
• create a new layby account - refer to "Enter Transaction - Layby - New Layby"
• edit the layby details - refer to "Enter Transaction - Layby - Edit Layby"
• cancel the layby - refer to "Enter Transaction - Layby - Layby Cancel".
