There are several billing options that make possible to create invoices automatically or manually, as needed. Features such as Mass Allocation and Automatic Billing can make a difference during an operation. However, for items that need to be manually invoiced, the user can do so under the Order Entry tab. Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+o to create a new order anywhere in the system.

User Roles: Admin, Procurement Manager, Sales Manager, Cashier, Sales, Allocations.

The system displays a message once you select a customer who has prebooks pending to be billed. For more information read Prebooks in Units pending Billing.

How to Create an Order

After selecting the customer, the system will display general information about the customer such as Salesperson, Aging, Shipping Address, Payment Method, notes, CRM link, and more. Also, there you have the option to change the Ship To and add Order Notes.
2. Save the information and start adding items by clicking on the Add items green button.
3. Once you click on Add Items, the Inventory window will open. There are two views for adding products: single mode and bulk mode (see Order Entry Options and Custom Columns). For adding products in the single mode, click on Add in the actions column. To start adding a product in the bulk mode, simply begin searching for the product that needs to be added, fill in the "Qty"  and change the price if needed, if not, press the "Enter" key to add the item.
4. Notice you can also add products from future inventory, units (when the Sell By Units Setting in enabled) and hard goods. To sell products from the future inventory, once you click on the Future tab, click on Add in the Actions column, and complete the required information either for boxes or for units.  
5. Once you have added the required items, close the Inventory window. The items added at the bottom of the General Order Information. Click on Save if everything is correct.

Future Ship Dates

If the Ship Date of the order is greater than 8 days in regard to the current time, the system will ask for a validation as the following once you try to Save the order. To continue, enter the word ACKNOWLEDGE and click on Yes, Continue (this button will appear once you enter the confirmation word).

Overselling Products

If for any reason, a user enters a product quantity that exceeds the available quantity, the system will display a notification as the following:

If the user enters the word "ok" and clicks on OK, the system will enter all the available quantity in the quantity field, and the user will be able to add it to the order. If the user clicks on Cancel, the user will have to enter a different quantity. This applies for boxes, units, and hard goods and it also occurs when trying to edit an order entering a quantity greater than the availability.

Note: If the setting Sell Over Available Quantity is enabled, this option won't work.

Sell Products From any Vendor

If the Inventory Rotation for Boxes is enabled (also for the salespersons), the system gives you the option of consolidating the lines with the same product, even if they belong to different vendors. For doing that check the Group Vendors Box (or press the V key from the Qty or Unit Price field).

Notice that the system will consolidate the same product lines, even if they have a different price (the system will show a weighted average price) unless the Separate lines by price option is checked.
