Record the payment
Customer Payment Recording focuses on payment entry, attachments, partial payment handling, receipt proof, and reconciliation cues. In AWRA, sales control depends on keeping customer, quote, invoice, payment, stock, attachment, and report context connected.
The practical goal is revenue confidence. Teams should know who the customer is, what was promised, what was approved, what was invoiced, what was paid, and what remains at risk.
In practice, a cashier records a partial bank payment, attaches proof, applies it to the invoice, and leaves the balance visible for follow-up.
Payment recording path

Sales model
- Sales records should preserve customer identity, promise, approval, and collection context.
- Attachments and status changes should support the transaction instead of living outside it.
- Credit and payment controls protect revenue quality as much as sales speed.
- Managers need exception patterns, not only individual transaction totals.
