Using the multiple payments section (Sales Orders)

The multiple payments section is part of the SO Entry document footer and enables you to enter more than one type of payment on a document, if for example, a customer wants to pay for part of the order by credit card and part of it by check.

It also serves as a shortcut since it enables you to set up the six most frequently used cash-type payments on SO Entry footers so you don’t have to access the Deposit/Payment Entry window.

Order Confirmation, Direct Invoice Entry and Counter Sales Entry each provides a multiple payment section. You can define up to six payment options and determine the order in which they appear.

Defining the multiple payment options

Use the Terms Code Order Setup program (Sales Orders-->File Maintenance-->Infrequent File Maintenance-->Terms Code Order Setup) to determine which payment types appear and in which order they appear.

Terms codes must be defined in this program before you can use Order Confirmation, Direct Invoice Entry or Counter Sale Entry.

Entering a payment through the multiple payments section

1. Enter that payment on the appropriate line or lines. If you press F2 or select the Balance button, the program automatically enters the document balance.

2. Use the Notes field to the right of the Balance button to enter check numbers, notes, etc. In credit card transactions, the last four digits of the credit card number appear in the Notes field.

3. Choose OK when the document balance is zero.

4. Choose whether to print the invoice now or print it later.

Entering payments with payment options that don’t appear in multiple payments section

1. Select the Payment button while the cursor is in any of the payment lines to access the Deposits/Payment Entry program.

2. Payments and deposits can only be made with cash type terms codes 1-4, such as credit cards, checks, debit cards, etc. Press F2 to search the available terms codes and look for those with Type 1, 2, 3 or 4. Type C terms codes cannot be used in the Deposits/Payment Entry window.

3. The payment amount that you enter in the Deposits/Payment Entry window appears on the OTHER PAYMENTS line when you exit the payment entry program.

Ü F4-Backup takes you back to the Tax $ field after you exit the Deposits/Payment Entry window. You cannot edit entries in the multiple payments section.

Editing payments from the multiple payments section
