Benefits of Account Sales

• Account sales feature is mostly used by Erply retailers dealing with wholesale customers who in many cases prefer to pay for the goods later, usually by bank transfer. Therefore, the account customers are usually registered in Erply with fixed payment terms.
• Account sales feature facilitates B2B transactions where the payments are handled by the accounting departments.

 

How to use Account Sales?

Install the plugin from Erply Plugins Manager (plugins.erply.com). The plugin is called “Invoice create and print”

 

Please note that the “Account sales” button is replacing the surcharge/TIP button on your payment screen. Therefore, enabling and disabling Account Sales payment type has to be done through Erply POS Settings > Payments Configuration > Allowed tenders on sale > Surcharge/TIP



 

Use case:

• Select a customer and add product(s) into the cart.

• Continue with the customer checkout by pressing a “Pay” button.

 

• Select "Account Sales" button from the payment screen.

 

• A Tax Invoice-Waybill is created and opened in another screen, so the user can print the document by pressing Ctrl+P / Command+P

 

• In Erply back office, the sale can be seen Sales > Invoices

 

Frequently asked questions

 

Is it possible to split payments together with Account Sales?

In Berlin POS, account sales feature works only when the invoice is paid in full. You cannot split account sale payments with other payment types.

 

How do I apply an integrated card payment against the previous account sales document?

Since integrated card payments are only working in Erply POS, you have to instal a plugin called “Pay for an invoice” from Erply Plugins Manager that allows you to retrieve back office sales documents in POS and apply a payment. Please note that the invoice cannot be edited through the “Pay for an invoice” plugin.

 

Can I use custom back office sales document templates when applying the account sales payment in POS?

In Berlin POS the account sales payment opens the Tax Invoice-Waybill with the standard template only. Custom account sales documents can be printed from Erply back office from the Sales module under invoices. See more information on Actual Reports templates chapter in manual.erply.com.
