You Can Take Advance Payments From Customers As Deposits On Account And Those Amounts Can Be Applied To Open Repair Orders



In MaxxTraxx, you have the option to post Deposits On Account in 2 ways. One is from the Customer's Account and the other simpler and quicker way is to post it right from the Repair Order where it's needed.

Here's how you do it:
  1. Open the Repair Order that requires the advance deposit.
  2. At the bottom middle, click the "Deposit On Account" button.
  3. Inside the deposits window, click the "Add Deposit On Account" button at the bottom left of screen.
  4. Post your payment amount, payment method and input some notes for documentation.
  5. Click "Save".
  6. It's just that easy!
  7. The Repair Order and final Invoice will show the running balance owed by customer and all deposits applied will show in the body of the invoice along with any notes.
  8. Payments can also be applied and un-applied as needed. This is especially helpful if a deposit was applied to another vehicle's Repair Order by mistake, that happens to belong to the same Customer.
  9. We hope you found this helpful!
