Description
Odoo POS Partial Payment is an Odoo point of sale module that lets customers pay part of the bill now. The cashier can validate the order and leave the rest of the amount due for a later date.
At checkout, the cashier enters the amount the customer pays, selects Invoice, and types a remark. After the cashier clicks Validate, Odoo creates the invoice and the POS moves on to the receipt screen.
Each partially paid order produces a posted customer invoice that shows the paid amount and the amount due. The invoice carries a Partial ribbon and the remark, so the balance is easy to spot later.
An admin turns the feature on for each POS shop with the Allow Partial Payment checkbox. A payment term can carry the Don't Allow Partial Payment In POS flag to exclude chosen customers from pay-later sales.
When the customer returns with the balance, an accountant opens the invoice and uses Register Payment to record it. Installment payments and pay-later deals follow the standard Odoo accounting flow.
Additionally, if you want cashiers to add notes to orders and order lines at the counter, then check Odoo POS Order Notes.

Why Do We Need Odoo POS Partial Payment?
Odoo POS Partial Payment fills a gap in the standard Odoo point of sale, which needs full payment to validate a sale.
Customers who buy costly items often cannot pay the whole bill at the counter. Without a pay-later option, the store either loses the sale or tracks the debt on paper, outside Odoo.
With this module, the cashier takes the amount the customer can pay and validates the order. The rest stays open on a customer invoice, and the accountant collects it later through Register Payment.
In practice, the cashier types a note such as Will Pay later in 10 days in the Remark box. That note then appears in the Remark field of the invoice, next to the amount due.
Also, if you want POS orders to stay in step across several sessions, you can check our extension Odoo POS Order Sync.
Use Cases

Allow partial payment from the Odoo backend
The Allow Partial Payment setting turns on pay-later sales for a POS shop. An admin ticks it under Point of Sale > Configuration > Point of Sale, in the Pricing section.
- Tick Allow Partial Payment to let the seller invoice and validate partially paid orders.
- Enable the option for each POS shop that should accept pay-later sales.
- Open Invoicing > Configuration > Payment Terms to set exceptions for customers.
- Tick Don't Allow Partial Payment In POS on a payment term to block pay-later sales for it.
- Change payment terms from the Odoo backend at any time, without editing POS settings.
See the partial payment option in the POS session
The Payment screen of the POS session accepts an amount lower than the Total Due. The cashier selects Invoice, types a remark, and clicks Validate to complete the partial payment order.
- Enter the amount the customer pays now, with Remaining showing the unpaid balance.
- Select Invoice so Odoo creates a customer invoice for the order.
- Type a remark, such as the date the customer plans to pay the rest.
- Print or email the receipt, which lists the order total and the amount paid.
- Open the order under Orders > Orders to view the remark on the partial payment invoice.
