Introduction
Tender refers to the type of payment made by the customer on buying goods. The customer after buying the goods makes the payment in any of the forms such as cash, credit cards, cheque or coupons etc. The person in the billing counter receives the payment, enters the payment details in the tender screen and saves the bill. The details entered in the tender are posted in the respective ledgers which can be used for tracking.
After saving the bill, a confirmation message with a prefixed bill number is displayed for the bill. The bill prefix is a two-letter code that is included as a part of the bill number. This is used to distinguish the types of bill tendered.
For each tender type, a unique two-letter code is given in the Bill Prefix Master. By default, the system created prefix is displayed. User can customize the prefixes for the different types of bills.
