Order Entry provides a fully featured sales order and invoice processing system that works with Inventory Control.
Note: Order Entry is not a standalone accounting module. You must install and activate Inventory Control before you can activate Order Entry.
Order Entry Uses I/C Price Lists
Order Entry displays item numbers and price list information such as prices and pricing units, sale prices, and discounted prices from Inventory Control when you enter sales orders.
Effect of Order Entry Transactions on Inventory Control
Order Entry transactions affect Inventory Control data as follows:
- Sales orders posted in Order Entry increase the item quantities on sales order in Inventory Control.
- Shipments posted in Order Entry decrease the item quantities on sales order and the item quantities on hand in Inventory Control.
- Returns posted in Order Entry increase the item quantities on hand in Inventory Control (unless the goods are damaged).
- Credit notes posted in Order Entry that return items to inventory increase item quantities on hand in Inventory Control.
Sage 300 keeps item quantities updated online, which means that stock quantities in Inventory Control affected by Order Entry transactions are always up to date.
Day End Processing in Inventory Control updates sales statistics and transaction history for Order Entry transactions (and for Inventory Control transactions) in both Order Entry and Inventory Control, and creates Accounts Receivable invoices and credit notes from Order Entry transactions.
