Sales orders in SwiftlyBooks

Orders customers have confirmed, invoiced in full or in parts as the goods go out. An order posts nothing to the books.

Take an order

  1. Press New sales order, choose the customer and add the lines.
  2. Or press Sales order on a quote: the order copies its lines and prices.
  3. Set Wanted by if the customer named a day.
  4. Press Approve to give it its number, such as SO-HO-000001.

Invoice it

  1. Press Make invoice on the order. Each line shows what is still to go.
  2. To invoice part of it, change This time on the lines, then press Make it.
  3. Check the draft invoice and approve it. The order shows Part invoiced until every line has gone.

Good to know

  • Nothing reaches the books until the order's invoice is approved.
  • Deleting a draft invoice made from an order puts its quantities back on the order.
  • Each branch numbers its own orders.
