Collect the money
A rep collects at the shop; the office can also record a payment that came in another way.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Payment methods: cash, cheque, transfer, InstaPay, wallet. Everything but cash needs its reference (the cheque number, the transfer reference).
- A payment clears the shop’s oldest invoice first.
- Money beyond what the shop owes stays on account as the shop’s credit, and lowers what it owes on its next invoices. There is no separate “advance” in Slflo.
- A cheque lowers what the shop owes on the day it’s taken, even when its date is later. It then moves through lanes: with the rep → at the office → at the bank → cleared, or bounced (which brings the amount back).
- Every payment gets a receipt numbered
RC-, issued by the server. The phone shows a Provisional receipt until it has synced.
