Credit sales, limits & collection

Keep debt-creating sales separate from cash collected later.

Before you begin

A credit account, limit, due terms and an operator authorized for credit sales.

Where to go

POS → Credit sale / Receivables

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Review account, remaining limit, outstanding debt and terms before sale; store credit is not a credit-sale limit.
  2. Use CREDIT tender so sale, stock and receivable commit together; no drawer cash is recorded on the sale date.
  3. Record later collection against the receivable; cash collection becomes Cash In on the shift that actually receives it.
  4. Verify receipt, remaining debt and collecting drawer; test a credit-sale return and confirm debt reduction from original evidence.

How to verify success

Receivable matches sale/collections, cash belongs to the collecting shift and no duplicate payment is added to the old bill.

Limits & things to check

Collection does not rewrite the original bill payment, and returns may require review of overpayment.
