Deposit/Payment Entry (SOC718)

Use this feature to specify customer deposits or payments on SO documents.

You can access this feature from any of the SO Order Management programs (Order Entry, Service Order Entry, Confirmation, Direct Invoice Entry, Credit Memo or Counter Sale Entry) by clicking Deposits/CC Preauth or Payments.

Preauthorization/ForceCapture processing

For CC Preauth transactions, the CenPOS interface is automatically displayed when you save the transaction in Deposit/Payment Entry so you can authorize the transaction. Click CC Tokens on the Cenpos Interface panel to use a token for the PreAuth transaction.

If any Credit Card pre-authorizations exist an ‘alert’ message, Note: PreAuths Exist, is displayed at the bottom/left of the Footer screens of Order Entry (SOE210), Direct Invoice Entry (SOE320) and Order Confirmation (SOE310).

When running the Daily Sales Register (SOR315), if a document is converted to a back order then any existing preauths for that document are retained.

If a document is completed and deleted when the Daily Sales Register (SOR315) is run, then any existing preauths for that document are deleted and the pre-authorization is voided via a Web Service Call to CenPOS.

Highlight the line and click Re-Auth to manually re-authorize a pre-authorization that is about to expire. If pre-authorization management is implemented in your system, an alert is raised when a pre-auth transaction qualified for automatic re-auth based on the customer’s settings and the # days old setting in Credit Card Control, but the attempt to re-authorize the transaction fails or pre-auth transactions are expiring. From the alerts, you can access Deposit/Payment Entry to re-authorize the pre-auth.

If an invoice contains a zero balance payment or deposit with a transaction (i.e., transfers, apply on account, refund, etc.) against it and you attempt to delete the document, the system displays a message indicating that the financial transaction will remain in effect. You can delete this document, or, you can backup to the Payment dialog box and delete the transaction if necessary.

When a deposit is transferred to another order, the system applies the same deposit settings from the Daily Sales Register to the order that receives the deposit.
