Sales Order Processing Features List:

Invoicing

Improve invoicing efficiency with quick and easy single-window entry for streamlined access to all vital information, as well as batch processing and easy return transaction processing.
Set your own business rules and base your invoicing process on those rules, with options that include customized document posting, definable fields, and customer-level control.
Keep the most important information in front of you while drilling down for more details, making inquiries across Microsoft Business Solutions–Great Plains® applications, or bringing up customer payment, shipping, and billing information.

Sales Order Processing with Advanced Invoicing

Control your sales in the way that works best for you with discount management, drop shipping, kit items, sales quantity status, and online tracking via hotlinks to UPS or FedEx sites.
Tailor order entry to your specific needs with customizable order defaults, price overriding, special instructions, and line-item level control.
Define, review, or change an unlimited number of process holds that can be assigned to your sales documents to help ensure proper procedures are followed at different stages of the sales cycle.
Speed time to delivery through multiple ship-to addresses on an individual order. Send each line item on an order to a different site for that customer, saving order entry time and consolidating tasks for faster throughput.
Avoid delays and costly errors by processing sales orders and authorize credit card payments without charging the card or recognizing revenue in your system until the order ships to the customer.
Manage inventory shortages by allocating inventory from multiple sites for the same item, as well as options including substation, overriding, or selling the balance.
Track and manage potential customers as prospects, separate from existing accounts.
Create routine documents such as quotes, orders, and invoices, or more complex ones like sales analysis reports, in print or on-screen formats. Electronic search capabilities help ensure you find the information you need.
