Please log in for more thread options Hi,
We just got POS and we need to do partial payments. I found this
conversation from last year regarding partial payments, but since I don't
have much experience on the system I would like to know if someone could
elaborate a little more on this. I do understand the item set up but then how
do you link the actual item that is going to be sold?
Thanks,
Vivi
