Overview

Readysell allows you to accept pre-payments against sale orders. This can be used to handle lay-bys. Follow this procedure to create a sales order that represents the lay-by and accept payments against that sales order.

Note

Readysell 8 Windows does not have a Layby module as such because generally it is a small volume. }
The PAY action button and the back dating of the Sales invoice lets customers pay in advance which is quite similar.

This procedure relies on a lay-by payment product being set up. Follow the procedure at Setup of a Deposit to handle Order Payments/Eway and Lay-Bys if this has not yet been done.

Procedure

Lay-bys are handled by entering the sales order and then clicking on the Pay action button in the top ribbon when receiving the initial payment. Once a payment is made against the lay-by, the status of the SALORD (lay-by) changes to "In Progress" or "Pending" depending on whether the payment has been received in full. If the stock is available the stock will be allocated against this sales order.

When you initially enter the SALORD to stand for the lay-by, the workflow status on the sales order starts off as "None", before you enter the payment, change the workflow status to "Layby" then click on the Pay button in the top ribbon to acknowledge the payment received. When the customer makes another payment on the lay-by you search for the sales order by filtering on the workflow status "Layby". Then click on Pay action button and enter the next payment received and tender it off using the correct tender.
