QUESTION
If I have one invoice for a party of several individuals who want to pay separately, by credit card, or cash, or check, how can I take multiple payments? The tender screen allows me to split tender only a few times.
ANSWER
1) If this is a new invoice, add all the purchase items to the invoice to get a grand total, but do not tender the invoice yet.
2) When you learn that they will be making separate payments, choose Hold Invoice As and select Layaway.
3) Choose today's date
4) You will be given an option to edit, print or close. Choose Close
5) go to Transactions: Pending: Layaway. It will likely be the only layaway listed here. If not highlight it.
6) choose the PAYMENT button at the top of the screen.
7) On the Deposits On File screen, choose Take Payment [F5]
8) Enter the amount of the payment from the first person. Select Credit Card or whatever and tender. It will prompt to print a receipt.
9) Repeat step 8 as many times as needed until the layaway is paid in full. Print the receipts.
10) While highlighting the layaway, choose the CONVERT button and convert to Invoice. Tender the invoice (most likely no additional payment will be required). (Distribute all of the printed receipts to each individual or staple all to the final invoice.)
