2.2. Open Sales Orders

The "Open Sales Orders" screen lists all your open Sales Orders. In addition to providing the list of Sales Orders, this screen can also be used to build Sales Order reports. Use the search filter options to sort the information into categories you want to look at.

Here are some tips for using this screen:

  • A Sales Order appears on the Open Sales Orders screen if one or more of its Line Items remains open. Once all Line Items for a Sales Order have been closed, the Sales Order will no longer appear on the list.

  • Sales Order Line Items are generally closed when the Order is selected for billing.

  • To copy a Sales Order, use the "Copy" option in the right-click menu.

  • You can issue Stock to Shipping from the right-click menu.

  • If a Sales Order was converted from a Quote, you can see this history on the Sales Order "Relationship" tab.
