My customer wishes to make layaway payments on a purchase. I don’t want to put it through my books until the purchase has been paid in full.
Go to Main Menu > New Invoice.
Enter the item using the purple Search Item button to the left of the first line item.
The item is removed from inventory.
In the salmon colored Category field, put your cursor in the field and change it to layaway.
Take note of the balance, including the tax/es. Change the Unit Price field to this total.
Put an X in the tax exemption field/s to the far right.
Click Recalculate.
The balance should now be the same as before, but with no taxes showing.
Enter a layaway installment using the Enter A Payment button.
Keep entering installments using this method until the balance is zero.
Take note of the Invoice #, top right.
When the Invoice has been paid in full, then create a New Invoice.
Type “Layaway on #…” into the Description field.
