Answer: All invoices and orders created in Solid Sales Pro™ are set to 'Payment: Charge' by default. This is not a customer record-controlled feature but rather a default, non-changeable setting of Solid Sales Pro™. If there is a concern, though, that customers may be charged who are not allowed to have a balance with the company, then the customer records should be set to have an allowed credit limit of $0.00.
If an invoice with a charge payment type is mistakenly created for a customer with a credit limit of $0.00, Solid Sales Pro™ will by default alert the route salesperson that this customer is over their credit limit. Then, depending on their mobile unit record's configuration, it will either allow them to proceed or prevent them from saving this transaction until the payment type is changed. See the section below for the business system being used for further details.

Use the [F4 - Credit] key to disable or enable a customer's credit account. Note to disable a customer's credit account; their balance must first be at $0.00 by paying off outstanding transactions by using a Received On Account (ROA).
- To control what action a route salesperson can take when an invoice encounters a credit limit, navigate in Solid Business Central™ to [Datafile / Cost Center / Mobile] and display their mobile unit record. Use [F2 - Edit], and in the 'Mobile Options' area, the 'Cred Limits' field can be set to 'W - Warn and Allow Override', 'I - Ignore Credit Limit', or 'N - No Override'. Save any changes with [CTRL+END].
