All data entered throughout the Point of Sale program will automatically flow to all other modules affected by the transaction. For example, when the parts department sells a part, the inventory is relieved, an invoice is printed , and the customer's account is updated. With a single entry, this transaction is taken from its point of origin through posting to Accounts Receivable.
The Open Order Cycle in Order Entry provides the means to take orders, ship orders, back order, and print packing sheets and invoices in a professional and timely manner. A user can set-up the system to automatically create documents. For example, when an order is placed for parts, a picking ticket can automatically be created. If an item is not in stock, it is automatically back ordered. A purchase order can then be generated through the Purchase Order application. When the part is received, the PO can be matched to the open order and the item shipped to the customer. At this time, a packing sheet is automatically printed. Then the order can be invoiced. The Order Entry application, in conjunction with Inventory and Purchasing, provides a comprehensive, full-functioning distribution system.
