Order Status

 

The initial status of a sales order is Inquiry. An Inquiry status means that a sales order is not available to be invoiced. Changing an order line status from Inquiry to Confirmed will change the order status to Confirmed. The confirmed order lines can then be invoiced.  Alternatively all the lines can be Confirmed by selecting Confirm Order from the Options window.

 

The order will automatically close when all the order lines have been despatched or cancelled.

 

Order and Order Line status codes are:

 

00 Inquiry

02 Confirmed

04 Partial Despatch

06 Complete

08 Cancelled Balance

10 Cancelled

 

 

Inq Only

If the sales order is closed, the sales order can be reopened and then any cancelled lines can be uncancelled.

 

 

CustOrdNbr

 

The customer order number entered on a sales order will over ride a Order Number entered on the sales or despatch screens. That is, when printing an invoice that contains sales orders, if there is a order number on the sales order, that order number is printed, otherwise the order number entered for the invoice will print.
