Special Orders, also known as Tag Orders, can be entered from the Work Order. If you try to sell at item that is not in stock, the system will prompt you with a pop up window and ask you if you need to special order the item.
By placing the item on special order, the system will ensure that you do not forget to order it. And when you do order it, you just "drag" it onto the purchase order without needing to retype anything.
When the item arrives and you are adding it to stock, the system will remind you of the special orders to ensure you set them aside and not sell them to others. In addition, you can print the shipping labels during the add stock procedure and attach it to the box right away, before you forget.
The special order features allow you to avoid the embarassment of forgetting to order and the added benefit of being easily able to keep the customer informed of delays with the special order delivery dates. |
