Layby Prepayments

Layby prepayments allow customers to put money towards a layby in advance. This is particularly useful for items that are not in stock or are yet to be created. 

Creating a Layby Prepayment

1. From the Point of Sale screen, click on Customer Payment or [F11].
2. Select the customer from the screen or create a new one by clicking on Add.
3. On the Pay Menu screen, click on Pay Laybys.
   A prompt will appear. Click Yes to confirm creating a layby prepayment.
   If the customer has an existing layby, the Layby Payment screen will appear. Click on Make Layby Prepayment to continue.
4. Type in a description for the layby prepayment as well as the amount.
5. Click OK and complete the transaction.

Layby Prepayments do not affect the customer's account balance. Instead they are added as a negative amount to the customer's layby balance.
