Sales Orders expire after XX days

Enter or select the number of days during which a sales order will remain on "Open" status after being entered.  Sales orders are automatically closed after expiration.  A value of zero indicates that sales orders will remain open indefinitely, and must be manually closed.

 

Delay credit card processing until sales order is filled

When checked, the program will not process and post credit card payments on sales orders until the goods are actually sold and shipped.

 

infoNote:  If a sales order is partially filled, any applicable taxes and freight charges on a sales order will be included on the FIRST sales invoice that is created from the order.  This is done in order to prevent any discrepancies and rounding problems once a sales order is completely filled.

 

 

Allow changes to pre-filled sales invoice generated from sales order

When checked, the program will allow the user to make changes, such as adding or removing items, on invoices created from a sales order.

 

Allow changes to sales order date for submitting past/future orders

When checked, the program will allow the user to change the date on a sales order to a past or future date.  Otherwise, all sales orders are created using the current system date.

 

Restrict sales order from being filled out of sequence (i.e. Allow FIFO only)

When checked, the program will only allow sales orders to be filled and processed in First-In, First-Out order.   This setting only applies to sales orders filled on the Fill Sales Order screen.

 

Warn if not enough inventory to sell

When checked, the program will display a warning message if the quantity of a Supertrack item that you enter on a sales order is higher than the actual quantity on hand in your inventory.

 

Allow pick ticket printing for order that is ready to be invoiced

When checked, the program will allow you to print pick tickets when filling sales orders.  This is especially useful when sales and shipping functions are run separately.  A button labeled "Print Ticket" will appear on the Fill Sales Order screen.

 

Force automatic printing of sales orders when completed

Instructs the program to automatically print a copy of a sales order once it has been completed.  This is sometimes useful to prevent fraud.

 

Allow deposits to be posted to a Post Sales Order Liability GL accountgear

Check this box to have sales order deposits post to an account different from the main A/R posting GL Account.  This option is best suited for companies that take large numbers of deposits or have a large total amount of sales order deposits, so that the monies can be held separately for tax purposes or otherwise.  Using this option will disallow applying an invoice's remaining balance to an account if the invoice was originally made from a sales order.  Also select the general ledger account which will be credited for prepayment of sales orders, and debited when the paid sales orders are invoiced.  The account entered here is normally a liability account.
