====== Credit/Debit a Client Account ======

If the need arises to add or deduct money from a client account this can be done from the account Transaction tab.

There are two kinds of money within the Liberty program that you can work with: **Payable** and **Non-Payable** (these types are explained as follows).

**Payable money** - These are funds that will come out on a client payout (consignor check) or pay advance. This money can be cashed out and used for whatever the client desires.

**Non-Payable money** - These funds will not come out on any type of payment to the client. These funds can only be used in the Point of Sale to purchase items and/ or pay fees. They are more of a true store credit only money.

Note: On the bottom of the Transaction Tab Liberty keeps track of both types of monies {see below}. Total Owed shows all monies owed to a client both **Payable** and **Non-Payable**. Total **Payable** only shows monies that are payable and can be included in a payout/pay advance. Below you will see that total owed shows $20 and total payable show $10. By seeing this you can see the total available balance in store credit that can be used in POS is $20. $10 payable money and $10 non-payable.)
