Your book store may do business by paying cash for used books. This is a common practice when you trade in used text books.
BookAccents addresses this situation in this way:
Use the book trading feature to create a credit receipt.
Scan the Credit Slip Number into the Bar-code field of the Cash Register Screen.
This enter the amount of credit as a cash credit on the Cash Register. This has the same effect as entering a negative dollar amount when giving a refund.
If you do business in this way, it is recommended that you do not enter books as line items on the same invoice. It will be unclear how much cash was paid out if these Debits are Mixed with the Credits of selling books. It is best, even if customers are buying books at the same time they are selling the books to complete the transaction by selecting "Cash Out" as the payment type.
By doing this, the Paid Out Cash will be summarized on your Daily Report.

At least one of our BookAccents stores allows their customers the option of getting cash for books based on 50% of the Credit Slip Value. In order to accomplish this, just give a 50% Invoice Level Discount. BookAccents will then display 1/2 of the Negative Value obtained by scanning the Credit Slip number. |
