Description
Copy of OFBIZ-733 from Ray Barlow.
==============================================
Certain products are delivered direct by the supplier or if the shop does not generally stock a specific product the customer wants from a supplier they can be ordered and this normally requires an up front deposit from the customer.
Could this really be considered a "special" gift certificate type? You've taken money and the customer has a receipt/voucher/certificate that will be redeemed when the sale is completed?!

This should be created as a Payment from customer of the CUSTOMER_DEPOSIT type. Product should be received by the store, picked up by the customer, and invoiced in the regular way.

I will work on this soon

Jacques, I agree this may be a way to solve the issue of advance payments, but it is not necessarily the only one. I'm not sure if it's the optimal one either. If you're ready to start working on it, let me know. We could discuss it further. Si

One way to view this is from the perspective of a hub-centric exchange where buyers & sellers meet and make deals. The seller may put up a price for a product, a buyer likes the price and agrees. In a hub-centric model like I've worked on before, the buyer and seller do not deal with each other directly. They can be completely anonymous to each other and both send their money and goods to the exchange which in turn handles all the processing, authentication, and specific fulfillment needs of each party.
The buyer & seller execute a trading transaction where the buyer must send money to the exchange and the seller must send their product to the exchange. The buyer can then take delivery of the product when they are ready.
As you can see in this scenario, the buyer "prepaid" for a product and the fulfillment of the product (taking delivery, or even selling it back to yet someone else) is a seperate activity entirely.

Actually, now I remember what you should do: after the order is authorized, in the order manager you can manually transact a portion of it (through the accounting manager's Transactions tab) as a Customer Deposit. When you ship the order, the balance will be collected automatically.

Do we still need this issue to be open? Is this need taken care of now?
Comment by Jacques Le Roux [02/May/06 01:47 PM] [ Permlink ]
Si,
Sorry I can't take a look at this issue before next week. I'll tell you then.
Thanks
Jacques

If the functionality you've suggested meets the requirements, which I've no reason to doubt I've just not tested it, then this is a great start. But it does not close this feature request for me in terms of a POS solution as it is not acceptable to expect the POS user to switch out of the Xui app into HTML backends, log in find orders etc to manage a deposit, a good short term work around maybe but not the final requirement of quick and easy to use POS deposit screens.
Comment by Si Chen [04/May/06 06:05 PM] [ Permlink ]
OK. So are you working on a POS equivalent of this? Just look at how orderheader.ftl in ordermgr does it.
If you plan on working on such, I will keep the issue open.
Comment by Si Chen [05/May/06 01:05 PM] [ Permlink ]
All you actually need to do is a button which takes a payment and creates an OFBiz Payment of "CUSTOMER_DEPOSIT" type.
More curious is: does the POS allow you to look up a customer somehow?
