Take what the customer can pay now, keep the rest on the order
Type a smaller amount in the payment terminal and the sale becomes a part payment: the order stays open, the balance is due later, and it shows up in receivables until it is collected.

In short
When the amount to pay is less than the total, the POS records a part payment and keeps the order open with the remainder due later. The order is marked Partially Paid, and the balance is collected later from the order or the Receivables report.
The problem it solves
Regular customers pay half now and half on Friday. If the till only knows paid or unpaid, the half payment ends up in a notebook and the balance is forgotten.
