On selection of this action you are given two options ‘Next Order’ and ‘Price Check’ (optionally) as well as an Exit option.
Next Order
Operationally this option is almost identical to the ‘Next Sale’ option within Cash Sales Entry, the only differences being the selection of the account code either at the start of the entry process or after selecting the payment type. In addition the payment types are likely to include ‘on-account’ ability.
If configured to select the customer accounts at the start of entry then on selection of the ‘Next Order’ option you are asked for the account code.
After selecting the customer account (if appropriate) then detail entry continues as discussed in cash sales entry. If you pre-select an account then the pricing displayed during input together with any special pricing (matrix) entries and line discounts are applied are those appropriate for that customer. If you haven’t pre-selected an account then standard prices are displayed though these will be recalculated later on selection of the customer account.
As with Cash Sales once detail entry is complete press <End> or <F12>, you will then be prompted for the payment method and then, if not pre-selected, the customer account code. At this point pricing will be calculated based on the customers’ price band, discount and special price arrangements. After the recalculation the process continues with any configured optional prompts before printing the invoice documentation and updating sales/stock files.
Price Checker
As with Cash Sale Entry an option is available to check the price of a stock item.
