Payment Methods: Account Receivable (A/R) Billing

  • Only Customers setup with an A/R account number on the Back Office can pay via this option.
    Any non-account customers or Cash Sales will not be allowed entry into this payment option.
  • An account customer must be added to the sale
  • At the end of the sale, touch the 'Other Pay' button.
  • Touch the 'Account Billing' option.
  • If a valid A/R customer has been added to the sale, the screen displays the current customer's Credit Limit, New Balance (if the current transaction is applied) and Balance Brought Forward from any previous transactions.
  • Use the ‘Enter Amount’ button to enter the entire amount of the sale.
  • Alternatively, a partial payment can be specified using the Numeric Key Pad and the rest paid via Cash, Credit or Debit, through the Split Payments option..

  • If the customer has been placed on ‘Credit Hold’ then the ‘Account Billing’ option will be denied for that customer.
  • If the customer’s credit limit is exceeded then the amount will be refused entry as an Account Billing (payment to account).
    Other methods of billing will have to be applied.
  • If the customer just wants a partial amount entered into the account then use the Touch numeric keypad to enter the amount.
    Enter the rest of the amount as another payment by touching the appropriate button.
    The ‘Close Sale’ button only is enabled when the full amount tendered meets or exceeds the Sale amount.
  • When the Sale is closed, a receipt for the customer is produced plus a chit for the customer to sign for the amount charged in the Account Billing section.
  • Touch the 'Cancel Payments' button to return to the sale without applying a payment.
  • In a multi lane scenario with Stand Alone Lanes, the new customer balance is distributed to the rest of the lanes when the Back Office next communicates to the Lanes.
    This polling interval can be set as low as 10 minutes or initiated manually (if the polling Interval is set to zero)  using the POS Lanes Menu options in the Back Office software.
