Credit a deposit on a Work Order

Jul 20, 2006 2 Replies

We are relatively new to RMS. I searched the website and could not find this exact issue.



A customer came in yesterday to order a 7 foot high bookcase. We wrote up a work order and we require 50% deposit for all work orders.



The customer called back today and would like to have the 6 foot high bookcase instead.



We recalled the work order, changed the item to the 6 foot bookcase and save the changes.



The 6 foot is less money than the 7 foot so the system wants to refund the customer money. We would like to keep the money instead of going through to hassle of crediting the credit card. At tender, we try to add the money to a store account or as an aditional deposit for this work order.



What is the best way to facilitate this?



Change the deposit amount to the current order total. When you tender the transaction, RMS will ask if you want to keep the remaining deposit. Just say yes.

The customer will not receive a credit - the company will keep the money. Consider it a 'stupid tax' for not ordering the right item in the first place.

If you want to give the customer credit on account, then you will have to refund the money as cash/check then immediately process a payment for the same amount and tender type in order to keep your till in balance.

There is no way to refund a deposit as a credit on account. I have already made a suggestion to MS for this function - you may want to find that thread and vote for it.
