The best native Odoo approach for Pay Later in POS is to use the **Customer Account** payment method. Here's how:

**Recommended Approach: Customer Account Payment Method**

• Go to: Point of Sale → Configuration → Settings
• 2. Under Payments, enable **Customer Account** (this allows customers to pay on credit)
• 3. In the POS session, when a customer wants to Pay Later:
•    At the payment screen, select the "Customer Account" payment method

   Assign the customer to the order (required)

•    Validate the order normally
• 4. The order is closed and a receipt is printed (normal receipt flow is triggered)
• 5. The customer's account balance becomes negative (they owe the amount)
• 6. When they return to pay, use the same "Customer Account" with a negative amount or process a new payment

**Why this is better than a custom Pay Later flag:**

• The order validates normally → receipt prints automatically

Session closing and accounting work correctly

• No payment reconciliation issues

The outstanding balance is tracked in the customer's account

**To collect payment later:**

Go to Point of Sale → Orders → find the order, or use the customer's balance to apply the payment when they return.

This avoids the need for custom JS patches to bypass the payment screen, and keeps everything within standard Odoo POS accounting flows.
