# Create layaway orders
1. Tap **Orders** | **Layaway**.
{% hint style="info" %}
You will know that POS is in layaway mode if you see the layaway icon in the top right corner of the screen.
{% endhint %}
2. (Optional) Look up the customer. Refer to [**Look up customers**](/readme-1/work-with-customers/customers-looking-up.md) for more information.
3. Enter all of the items in the layaway order.
{% hint style="info" %}
If your store requires customers to pay a deposit on layaways, the **Addl. deposit** field indicates the **minimum deposit amount**. The customer has the option to pay more than the amount shown in the **Addl. deposit** field.
{% endhint %}
4. Tap **Transaction** | **Tender Sale**. You can also press **F12** or **Enter**.
5. Enter the amount next to the appropriate tender type.
{% hint style="info" %}
Follow your store's policies regarding what tender types are accepted for layaway deposits. For example, many stores only accept cash, direct deposit, or check for layaway deposits.
{% endhint %}
6. Tap **OK**.
7. (Optional) Print or email the customer's receipt.
The receipt shows the total layaway amount including tax, the deposit amount, and the balance owing on the layaway order.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.rmhpos.com/readme-1/work-with-layaways/layaways-creating.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
