Add External Invoicing

This How-To describes new functions and workflows that are only available in enforePOS 2. This version is exclusively available to customers participating in the enforePOS 2 Early Access program.

In the External Payments overview, in addition to an external payment method, you can also create an external invoicing method. This allows you to create invoices to be settled and collected outside of enforePOS.

For example, if you use an invoicing system other than enforePOS, but still want to store the associated services or sales items in enforePOS, you can select the external invoicing method in the payment window and reference and document it in enforePOS. You can then view and export these reference transactions in your accounting under Sales history.

(With an advanced external invoicing method, you can also connect custom workflow integrations for external invoicing systems. This means that payments and settlements are no longer made in enforePOS, but externally. Through the connection, the information is passed to the external invoicing system.)

(With the extended external invoicing methods, no reference transactions are stored in enforePOS or invoices are generated, i.e. you cannot view the external invoices under Sales > History. enforePOS only enables the connection to external invoicing systems).

Change the Order of Payment Methods

1. If you want to move the external invoicing method to a higher position, e.g. because most of your customers order to their rooms, press and hold the three bars on the external invoicing method and move it to the desired position.
2. Once you have moved the external invoicing method to the desired position, release the button. 

   Cash is the only payment method that cannot be moved. It is always placed at the top of the list. Therefore, the external invoicing method cannot be moved to the top.
