Useful info

About rapid sales orders

Use rapid sales orders for entering a batch of sales orders quickly, when you're selling standard items only (you can't add free text, items, comment lines or additional charges). You can't record payment with the order or view profit or discount values using this method.

If you need the extra options available when you enter a full sales order, you can convert a rapid order to a full order by selecting Full Order Entry on the rapid entry screen.

Things to consider

• Delivery address and invoicing details (order discount, settlement discount, analysis codes).

  These are taken from the customer's account and can't be amended on the order.

• Credit limit.

  This is the same as using a full order. The credit limit is checked when create the order and when it's saved. If the customer has exceeded their credit limit the order is put on hold. If you have the correct permissions you can override this.

• Prices and line discounts.

  These are taken from the customer's account. You can override these if you have the correct permissions.

• Warehouse.

  Only items stored in the same warehouse can be added to an order.

• Stock Allocation.

  Stock is automatically allocated regardless of the stock level.
