SCIS Purchase on Account
SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) supports the Purchase on Account payment option that allows customers to purchase items using payment terms. After selecting a customer on the order, the sales associate can select the Purchase on Account option from the list of Other Payment options.
When an order is placed using Purchase on Account, an invoice is created in NetSuite. If the customer already has terms defined on the customer record, those terms are already selected in SCIS. If the sales associate is entering a new customer at point–of–sale, then the sales associate can select from the list of customer payment terms already defined in NetSuite.
After the initial order is submitted in SCIS using Purchase on Account, any further payments on the order can be made only in NetSuite.
