The Order Entry module links with the Accounts Receivable, the Purchase Order, the Job Cost, the Estimating, and the Inventory Control modules to allow easy creation of customer orders. It is used as an in-house tool to track the flow of orders from their inception, through the purchase order process for materials, the process of picking from current inventory, the interface with Job Cost, and up to the final shipping and billing.
This module is often the central point for businesses to track their material flow through the business. It handles various types of orders: standard, point-of-sale, over-the-counter, job cost, and service. Each type processes differently. If you have special requirements, we can program special types for you.
Order Entry links with the Estimating module. You can create estimates and then pull the entire estimate and all of it's line items into an order where you can add to it or edit it.
Order Entry links with Job Cost. Within the Job Cost module, you can create any number of orders for a job. Order Entry consults the job module to get information on billing and shipping.
Order Entry pulls it's line items directly from the Inventory module. Or you can allow creation of line items on the fly or make up items not in inventory. You can add an unlimited amount of description or comments on each line item.
Invoices can be printed one at a time or in batch. Payments can be entered at the time of creating the invoice or later via the Cash Receipts module. Pre-payments before shipment of materials and returns of material are handled.
A full range of reports is included.
