Enforcing Credit Limits and Warnings

Follow these step-by-step instructions inside your BPS POS dashboard to configure and operate this workflow seamlessly:

  1. Edit Customer: Go to Parties → Customers → Edit.
  2. Set Maximum Credit Limit: Enter ceiling amount (e.g. $1,000.00).
  3. Select Enforcement Action: Choose Warning Only (Cashier Alert) or Hard Lock (Requires Manager Override).
  4. Test on POS: When billing this customer, if the new order pushes total balance over $1,000, BPS POS triggers a security warning.
  5. Require Supervisor Approval: The cashier cannot finalize the credit sale without a manager's security authorization code.
