How to suspend a Stored Transaction

During the checkout process, a customer may want to leave the line to get a forgotten item. You can:

  • Suspend the transaction without removing the inventory from stock-on-hand (SOH) counts.
  • Keep checking out other customers until the previous customer returns.

When you suspend a sale on a terminal, it can only be resumed on that terminal. If you close Paladin while the sale is suspended, it will be removed.

To suspend a transaction:

  1. In Paladin, on the top ribbon, select the Invoice/Quote module.
  2. In the Invoice/Quote tab, scan part numbers.
  3. On the bottom ribbon of the module, click F6 Store Transaction.
  4. In the Store Transaction window, enable Suspended Sale.
  5. Click F12 Store.

Note: To recall a selected transaction, click F6 Recall transaction. The invoice opens with the title Suspended Sale.

  1. To open the transaction, click F12 Recall and continue with the sale.
