Choose Finance Company

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When tendering a customer invoice, you can assign payment responsibility to a third party, known as a finance company.  

IMPORTANT NOTES:  

This is NOT used for placing customer charges on POSitive's "store account."

Finance Company can only be used on Invoices, not orders or layaways.

Finance Company can not be used on "Quick Sale" invoices; a customer name and address is required.

 

The term Finance Company is used to mean any third party billing source.  Typically, major or big ticket purchases can be taken over by an outside Finance Company which then becomes your AR account customer.  But POSitive takes it one step further to allow you to bill a customer's employer or insurance company for all or part of the customer's purchases.
