The Add Sales Order page enables you to enter sales orders for customers. This page provides you with the flexibility to edit sales orders at line level. 

If you want the ability to create multiple shipments, multiple invoices, and purchases, you must enable the Order Management feature from Settings | Organization | Company. For more information, see Order Management.

If you have created and completed a sales order incorrectly, then you need to add a credit note for the value and return the stock (if required). Alternatively, you can add an order for more items.

Points to Note

• Ensure that customer and warehouse have already been created in Unleashed before creating a sales order.

• Customers assigned to a sales order cannot be changed, once a product line has been added to it.

• Warehouses can be changed as long as there are no completed shipments.

• You cannot merge or edit completed sales orders.

If the customer is using a foreign currency, the default sell price does not get converted to the customer's currency. For more information, see Selling to a customer in foreign currency.
