SP2-03-01 S/P PROCESSING 31540 Cash Till Sales Entry, Overview
PURPOSE
The cash till sales entry program enables you to create cash with payment sales and is typically used at cash lanes. It has been designed for fast and efficient cash sale processing and consequently, on-account sales are not possible. These must be handled using the sales order entry program. Sales generated through the cash till sales entry program contain only product and payment information.
Alternately the sales order entry program can be used to create cash sales in place of the cash till sales entry program where additional customer service and/or sale sophistication is required. See 31553 - SALES ORDER ENTRY, OVERVIEW. Payments can be accepted for sales generated through the sales order entry program by acessing certain features of the cash till sales entry program. See 31561 - SALES ORDER ENTRY, PAYMENT PROCESSING.
