Using Order Processing, you’ll appreciate these benefits:

• For convenience, new orders are entered on a single screen. Details of items in stock are transferred automatically to the order and invoice from the integrated inventory and price file.
   
• Special “column pricing” and discount schedules may be maintained for selected customers based on a variety of criteria. When offering special pricing to customers (by item, category, or contract), your customers are guaranteed the correct invoice prices without the need for manual calculations.
   
• Order Processing is tightly integrated with General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Inventory. As a result, there is no need to track invoices separately, allowing one customer to get a job-related invoice as well as over-the-counter sales.
   
• Sales analysis reports and inquiries help determine the most profitable customers, items, and salespeople.
   
• Create and store quotes that can easily be converted to sales.
   
• Invoice printing options allow you to print multiple copies, print invoices for specified customers, and skip previously printed invoices.
   
• Credit memos may be efficiently issued and credited to open accounts.
   
• Easily determine the status of orders. Order status is available quickly through inquiries and reports organized by customer, item, or order number.
   
• Commissions payable can be accumulated using various criteria, which includes the following: at invoicing or upon cash receipts; on total sale, gross profit, or fixed value; and based on price class or item category.
   
• Access to all data and processing is controlled by a highly structured security and password system.
   
• User-defined fields track additional information for each customer (e.g. additional contact names and numbers, marketing source and opportunity data, personal information, etc.) and for each inventory item (suggested alternative parts, specifications, usage instructions, etc.) without the need for custom programming.
   
• All Order Processing data is ODBC compatible, allowing the use of Microsoft Office or any other ODBC-compliant product to produce custom invoice attachments, sales letters, reports, analyses, graphs, or other documents.
