The Sales Order Entry screen is used to record customer orders. This screen contains general information about orders, including shipping address, the order date and requested shipping date, the customer's purchase order number, shipping instructions, credit terms, and salesperson commission information.

The way in which the information is entered depends on whether or not the Inventory Control module is installed. If the module is installed, much of the item information defaults from the Inventory Item File Maintenance screen. If this module is not installed, this information must be entered manually.

This screen is also used to record sales tax code and sales category on a line-by-line basis, as well as any special messages that should be included on the order for the customer. After completing the detail entry, a Print Pick List Form can be requested immediately.
