Frequently asked questions
Will Add order record a cash payment automatically?
No. In this example Leave unpaid is selected, so the amount remains on the meal bill.
How do I review who is billed and whether a notice is requested?
Use Change in the billing and notification summary before adding the order.
Is this the same as recording an extra meal already served?
No. This clip adds an ordinary future order. Use the separate extra-meals workflow for meals already distributed.
