8.1.  Bookings

The Bookings screen provides information on all open, invoiced, and closed sales order line items. Here are some tips for using this screen:

  • Because bookings represent both active and past customer demand, sales order line items that have been deleted before any activity is registered are not considered bookings.

  • Be sure to enable all the column headers you want to see in order to take full advantage of the data available on this screen.

  • Isolate the sales information you're looking for by building a custom search filter.

  • Search for orders using the customer's P/O number.

  • Prices are normalized to the base currency using the currency exchange rate effective on the order date.

  • Don't forget to save your custom search filters so you and others in your organization can use them for future searches.
