Shift F9 override

Just an idea...

Create a non-inventory item DEPOSIT or something like that. Check 'block the sales of this item', 'Item may not be placed on purchase order' and 'Must enter price at the POS' on the Options tab.

You may also want to create a department and/or category for Order Deposits.

You can make the 'price' of the DEPOSIT any amount you need to tender the order deposit. When the order is finalized, if the previous deposit is greater than the order total you will have to refund money when you pick up the order.

Tender the work order as $0, then make the payment into the customer's "store account" which will make it have a positive balance.

When they pick up the work order, tender the Work order out of the customer's store account.

Will that work?

I'll try it in my test system and see how it works for us. THANKS Tom!

This is what we do, but to keep reports right, you have to do a negative deposit item and amount when the deposit is redeemed for the actual items. It's a little messy, but it works.
