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. These prepayments can only be used on new laybys.

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. If the customer has an existing prepayment, this will open a screen of the existing prepayments, where you can select a prepayment and click Add to An Existing Prepayment to add to the selected prepayment on the screen, or, you can click Add a New Prepayment to create a new one.
   
5. Type in a description for the layby prepayment as well as the amount.
6. 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.
