Enforcing Credit Limits and Warnings
Follow these step-by-step instructions inside your BPS POS dashboard to configure and operate this workflow seamlessly:
- Edit Customer: Go to Parties → Customers → Edit.
- Set Maximum Credit Limit: Enter ceiling amount (e.g. $1,000.00).
- Select Enforcement Action: Choose Warning Only (Cashier Alert) or Hard Lock (Requires Manager Override).
- Test on POS: When billing this customer, if the new order pushes total balance over $1,000, BPS POS triggers a security warning.
- Require Supervisor Approval: The cashier cannot finalize the credit sale without a manager's security authorization code.
