Sales Order Processing
Sales Order processing means the recording of Sales Enquiries, the turning of those
enquiries into “firm orders” and the generation of the necessary documents to permit
customer orders to be fulfilled and invoiced. The customer is unlikely to be present,
although he may call to collect the goods.
Each Sales Desk has its own specialised and configurable workflow to help ensure that
sales opportunities are not missed. Accuracy in Sales Margins and integration with credit
control are key tools to maintain profitability. The allocation of stock may be by Manual
or Automatic methods, with integrated Back-to-Back purchasing if required. Sales Order
Processing may also integrate with Purchase Requisitions.
