Regular customers may be issued with a number that can be used to identify them uniquely.
When the customer buys items at the shop, they may use their client number to pay for the goods.
This section covers how Client accounts are used at the till to pay for a transaction, or pay off
money owed on their account.

During a normal transaction the customer can attempt to pay off a client account, or use it to pay
for items brought.  When this is attempted a prompt for account number is displayed:

If an account is being used as a payment method, then once the account number has been entered,
it is checked to ensure the following:

•

 

Customer Account exists and has not expired

•

 

Customer Account payment is not overdue

If this is successful, the Client Account is updated to show the new transaction.  Otherwise a
warning is displayed and the transaction is not completed.

Payment of customer accounts can also be performed at the till through the ‘Pay Account’ button.
The user is prompted for the account number, which then shows the account balance.  The user
then accepts the payment which, when entered, redisplays the new account balance.  The
sequence is as follows:

•

 

Press ‘More…’ whilst not in a transaction, then press the ‘Pay Account’ button.

•

 

Enter the account number and press ‘Enter’

•

 

Enter the amount that the customer is paying back and press ‘Enter’
