Creating a Payment Centre
You must create a Nominal Ledger Code for the payment method.
To do this, go to " Nominal Ledger Maintenance Options Centre Maintenance Add or Edit Nominal Centres".
- Click [Add].
- Type a new code, (e.g. Z904).
- Type the "Name:" for the new method, (e.g. Paypal).
- Set the "B/S" to 'Asset/Liability'.
- Leave "P/L indicator:" as 'No'.
- Click [Done] and click [Accept].
 | The Platinum default setting is for payment centres to start from Z900 (Z900-Cash, Z901-Cheque, Z902-Credit Card etc), so for your new payment method, find the next available Z-number closest to the existing ones. If you have your own coding structure, simply choose an appropriate code. |
Setting up a Payment Method
To use the new Nominal Ledger code as a method of payment, you will need to:
- Go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options System Administrator Platinum Settings Standard Payment Centres".
- Press <Down Arrow> down to the next available (Blank) line.
- Type the centre code that you have created in the "Centre" column.
- Press <Esc>.
- Click [Accept] to accept the changes.
You should now see this new method as one of the payment options when taking money from a customer.
 | It is also possible to set up different centres to appear on different tills (terminals).
Go to " Stock Control Maintenance Options Till Maintenance Till Maintenance".
