Take part cash and part post-dated cheque, and follow the cheque

On the Nile Fresh day, Nile Market owes 1,368.00 for its morning invoice. It pays part in cash and part by a cheque it dates two weeks ahead. This example follows both payments, then the cheque until the bank pays it — or returns it. The figures of 7 October come from running that day through Slflo. Who: rep and office · Where in the cycle: Collect.

Before you start

Omar is checked in at Nile Market (Nile Fresh takes payments only inside a visit).
The office has Take payments (PAYMENT_RECORD) to move cheques; Bounced needs Reverse payments (PAYMENT_REVERSE), the Administrator’s only by default.
Nile Market owes 1,368.00: INV-000001, issued at 09:35.

The example, step by step

1 · 09:38 · 700.00 in cash — Omar, on the phone

In the visit Omar taps Collect payment. The sheet reads Owes EGP 1,368. He types 700, keeps Cash and taps Record payment, then Share receipt for the shopkeeper.

2 · 09:39 · 300.00 by cheque

He taps Collect payment again; the sheet now reads Owes EGP 668. He types 300, chooses Cheque, types the Cheque number 100245, the Bank Banque Misr and the Date on the cheque 21 October, and taps Record payment.

Collect payment for a shop that owes EGP 668: amount 300, Cheque chosen among Cash, InstaPay, Wallet, Transfer and Cheque, cheque number 100245, bank Banque Misr, Date on the cheque 2026-10-21, and a Record payment button. — Amount: type what you were handed

Each payment goes against the oldest open invoice first. The cheque lowers what Nile Market owes the day it is taken, though it can’t be banked for two weeks. At the sync the office issues the numbered receipts; the shop got provisional ones from the phone. RC-000002 reads, as printed from Money › Receipts:

3 · 17:30 – 17:35 · The cash is banked, the cheque handed in — console

The cashier banks the 700.00 on Money › Cash with slip SLIP-001 (Bank a rep’s cash). Omar hands the cheque over, and on Money › Cheques the office presses Received at office on its card.

Omar hands the post-dated cheque to the office. It cannot be deposited before its due date; on that day the office deposits it, then marks it cleared or bounced.

The card is now At the office, “Post-dated until 2026-10-21”, with no Deposited button. Trying to deposit it today was refused. Nothing in the money changes: Nile Market paid when the cheque was taken.

4 · 21 October · Deposited — console

On the cheque’s date the office takes it to the bank and presses Deposited. The card moves to At the bank, with Cleared and Bounced.

5 · 23 October · Cleared — console

The bank pays. The office presses Cleared; the card leaves the board (find it with Show cleared and bounced). No money moves: what Nile Market owes stays 254.00 after the morning’s return.

If the bank returns the cheque

Suppose instead the bank returns it on 23 October for insufficient funds. An administrator presses Bounced on the card, types Why did the bank return it? “Insufficient funds” and confirms: “Bounced. The outlet owes it again.”

The payment is reversed: the 300.00 it cleared on INV-000001 is owed again, and RC-000002 turns Void on Money › Receipts (it keeps its number and prints with a VOID banner).

Paid off

Omar sees the new balance on Nile Market at his next sync and collects again on his next visit.

What happens next

Cash: the 700.00 stays in Omar’s hand until it is banked; End of day expects it until then.
Cheque: a cheque still With the rep counts as not handed in at End of day until the office presses Received at office. Counting it when closing the day doesn’t move it.
ERP: both payments are in the payments feed, with the cheque’s state and any bounce.
Audit: “Moved a cheque on”, and “Reversed a payment” for a bounce.

If something goes wrong

What you see	What to do
Add the reference from the cheque, transfer, InstaPay or wallet message.`REFERENCE_REQUIRED`	A cheque needs its number. Type it, then record the payment.
That step isn't possible for this order now. Refresh to see its current state.`INVALID_TRANSITION`	A cheque moves one lane at a time, and not to the bank before its date. Refresh and take the next step on or after the date.
Your company sells only inside a visit. Check in at the shop, then take it again.`CHECK_IN_REQUIRED`	Nile Fresh takes payments only inside a visit. Check in first.
There is no Bounced button	Recording a bounce needs Reverse payments, the Administrator's by default. A supervisor doesn't have it.
A cheque disappeared from the board	Its payment was reversed on the statement, which voids the cheque. Voided cheques aren't listed.
Add a reason, then send again.`REASON_REQUIRED`	Type why the bank returned it.
