Pausing a sales transaction allows you to temporarily save a sales invoice with the option to resume and complete it later. This feature is particularly useful when the customer needs extra time to review their order, add more products, or resolve payment issues. It also enables handling transactions with other customers while keeping the current transaction pending. Rewaa provides this functionality directly through the sales screen.
