Sales Operations
In a typical setup, the user may put up a Typical Sales Quotation (note the difference between a Sales quotation & a purchase requisition. A Sales quotation allows you to indicate which Customer you are sending the quotation to). Once the quotation is confirmed, a Sales Order can be created.
Flow 1 - Optional. Upon confirmation of all the Sales orders, the goods will be sent out to the stated Customers. You may send out a Delivery Order (DO – Optional) to your Customers
Flow 2 - Optional and at a later time, send the invoice to the Accounts Department
Flow 3 -Optional. Alternatively, you may just send an Invoice straight to the Customers (Flow 2b). Another scenario maybe where no Sales Orders were created only a verbal order was placed by the Customers in whom
you just sent the goods
Flow 3b – Optional to the Customers and then sent the invoice later. The final scenario is where the Sales was done simply by placing an order and you just sent out the goods and invoice it to the Customers, in which case the Credit/Cash Invoice will be created directly. Some Sales transactions could be done by placing a deposit first.
