The RAM System allows you to use multiple payment methods when taking a customer's payment.
You can apply part of the payment as cash and another part on the customer's VISA card, and even another part on a different credit card. The only limit is the different payment methods available. You can use up to (5) five different payment methods for each payment.
For example, you can change the amount of CASH to $25.11, if the customer only has $25.11 in cash. The remaining amount to apply is listed in the totals box at the bottom of the screen. Continue choosing payment methods and amounts until the total amount due has been applied. PROCEED is not enabled until the entire payment amount is accounted for.
When the total due is applied, PROCEED is enabled, allowing the user to process the payment.
The system calculates the amount of each payment method as a percentage of the total due for all agreements including any customer charges or bad check fees. Each percentage is applied to each part of the payment in order to arrive at 100% of the total due. This may seem confusing at first, but if we look at how the system divides the money we can see what is going on behind the scenes.
This shows the $25.11 that we applied as cash broken down in to RENT, INSURANCE, TAX and LATE. It also shows the payment type of "C" for CASH. Each of the payment methods we selected are listed with the same receipt number, indicating this payment was split into multiple payment methods.
