To sell a layaway item from the point of sale follow the below instructions.  

  • From the Point of Sale interface utilize the Customer button to search and select the customer that is picking up the layaway item.

  • Once the customer is selected you will note a layaway icon next to the customers name.  You can click this icon which will display the clients layaways. (you can also search for the layaway manually via the Layaways button)

  • Click on the layaway item you would like to sell.  Here you can choose any discount options and or tax rates you need applied to the layaway item.  In addition you can see the existing prepayments attached to this layaway item.

  • Click the plus button to add the layaway item to the sale.

  • When ready click the Charge button to make any additional payments you may need and print your receipts.

NOTE:  If you have multiples of the same sku placed on different layaways for the same client; You will need to sells these out on seperate transactions

In addition:
The app is designed to put individual items on individual layaways. Quantities of items should only be put on the same layaway if they will only be fully picked up and paid for at the same time. If you encounter a situation where the intention was to pick up a multi item layaway at once, but that situation changes, then you will need to manage the layaway from the back office to restock and re-layaway the items whose pick up will be delayed onto a separate layaway.

The purpose of this design is two fold. First it keeps layaway tracking more clear and prevents layaways from lasting longer than needed. Second it adhere's to the principle of keeping payments attached to specific layaway items.
