About Orders
Orders can be used in variety of POS situations. Some retailers like to create an order first for each transaction. Other retailers only create orders when an item is out of stock, or if a customer wants to place a special order for items not typically carried by a store.
All orders in RP Prism are either Customer Orders or Layaway orders and require entry of a Bill To Customer. Depending on your RP Prism preference settings, the customer may be required to make a minimum initial deposit. Additional deposits can be taken at any time until the order is filled. Fulfill the order when a customer is ready to pay off the balance and receive the items. Fulfilling an order records the sale and deducts the items from inventory.
When creating a transaction, you can include both sale and order items. When tendering the transaction, the initial deposit amount required for the order (if any) is added to the transaction subtotal. When the transaction is sent to RIL Oracle database, a receipt is created for the sale items and a sales order is created for the order items.
By default, users can create new customer orders. To create new layaway orders, you must enable the option in Prism Preferences (Preferences & Settings > Transactions > General). The required minimum deposit amount for any order item quantities is added to the transaction subtotal. When the transaction is sent to the RIL Oracle database, a receipt is created for the sale items on the transaction and a sales order is created for the order items..
