Product Purchases

Emersion provides service providers with the ability to sell products to customers in a number of ways:

• An Outright Purchase
• Under an Instalment Plan
• Recurring Purchases

An outright purchase is a sale where the goods are provided to the customer and the customer is either invoiced immediately, or at the end of their next billing period. Instalment Plans provide a way for the customer to pay off the amount owing from the product sale over a period of time.

An Instalment Plan purchase allows products to be sold to a customer and then paid for over a period of time in smaller payment amounts. A variety of methods are available to calculate the instalment plan final figure and payment period, as well as the repayment amounts. The system automatically creates cardlines on the relevant customer's invoices for the required instalment payment amount, per the instalment plan's configuration. Customers may also make additional payments on their instalment plans, or finalise or break out of the instalment plan.

To Create a Product Purchase

There are two ways to navigate to the Purchase function:

1. Select Customers > Customer List > from the Menu. The Customer List page will appear showing a list of existing customers. Locate the required customer and then click the Create Purchase link on the right side of the customer record;

   or
