Preparing a Detailed Sales Order
Article Summary
This article explains how to do a Detailed Sales Order, under the Detailed Entry Menu.
The Detailed Entry screen brings the Desktop transaction entry screen "experience" into a Cloud/Web browser interface. Users who need the full power (or who are used to a Desktop interface) will welcome this functionality and find it familiar. You can also easily Save before posting to the Business System and the Detailed Entry allows for Sales Credits to be created.
Reminder:
- You can also use the Quick Entry menu option (menu above) if you prefer.
- The Quick Entry option is often used for quick, "in front of Customer" transactions. It does not offer the option of Sales Credits.
Processing a Detailed Sales Order
Once you've clicked on Detailed Entry a transaction screen opens:
You can now complete:
- A Sales Quote;
- Or a Sales Order;

- Or Sales Credit.
The Detailed Entry screen is easy to follow.
Start by entering information into the fields and choose the Sales Order option when ready.

Type in the name of the Customer (enter the first few letters and a list of Customer names will appear) and enter information into the fields displayed.
Some information may be automatically selected - in that case press the Tab button to move to the next field.
Note: A Sales Rep and Warehouse needs to be selected or you'll be unable to progress.

- To add a new Line, hit Insert New Line tab, at the top of the screen;
3. Click on the Sales Order Icon and either "Push" or "Save":

You will see a green notification, on the top right "Success. The transaction has been added."
Note: Depending on the Business System, there may be further steps required to accept the Sales Order into the Business System.
b) Save to Sales. Live:
This keeps the
Sales Order information within the
Sales.Live mobile platform environment.
Once you click on "Save to Sales.Live", you will be see a green notification, on the top right
"Success. The transaction has been added."
A new screen automatically opens , with some Ribbon bar options:
Each Ribbon bar icon should be self explanatory - choose the functionality you want and "Save Changes" or "Push to Business System" when ready.
