Finance Company Detail

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The definition screen for a finance company or third party billing company.  You may edit this as needed and review Transactions for this company.

ATTENTION: Once the Finance Company has been defined, it will show up in your Customer Center.

Because a finance company is a unique customer, consider marking it in some way to avoid any confusion by staff members.  The entry made in the Customer Center may need to be edited because it will not have any link to a Customer Category and its defaults.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Do NOT create a finance company for your own Store Account processing.  This has been built into POSitive and  is listed as Store Account on the tender screen.  For more information see Choose Finance Company.
