Payment methods are generally created during the implementation process; however, there are procedures in the Admin Console to create these payment methods manually if needed.

## Create a purchase order payment option

  1. Go to **Admin Console** \> **Sales** \> **Payment Methods.**

  2. Click **Add Payment Method**.

  3. In the **Name** field, enter the name of the payment method. This field must match the ERP code that was setup during implementation.

  4. Enter a description in the **Description** field. The **Credit Card** toggle should only be switched to **Yes** if setting credit card options.

  5. In the **Active On** field, click the calendar and clock the buttons to select a date and time for when the Purchase Order will be set to activate.

  6. In the **Deactivate** field, click the calendar and clock the buttons to select a date and time for when the Purchase Order will be set to deactivate. In most instances this field is left blank.

  7. Click **Save**.

## Assign a payment method to the customer

  1. Go to **Admin Console** \> **Administration** \> **System** \> **Settings**.

  2. In the search box enter and select **Enable Purchase Order**.

  3. Validate **YES** is selected. This makes the **PO Number** field and **Payment Terms** options available in the **Payment Method** drop-down on the **Review and Pay** page. The default value is **YES**.

The next step is assigning a customer to a purchase order. All purchase orders need to be assigned to customers; credit cards do not need to be assigned customers.

  1. Go to **Admin Console** \> **Customers.**

  2. Select the **Customer** by clicking **Edit**.

  3. Scroll down to the **Billing** section.

  4. In the **Default Payment Method** drop-down menu, select the desired payment method.

  5. Click **Save**.

The payment term will now appear on the checkout page and be available for clients to select.
