Sales Quotes and Orders

In TRASER DMS 365, you can create sales quotes, which function as an initial step before creating sales orders. You can input all the details related to an item for sale in both sales quotes and sales orders. This enables you to send the customer a quote before creating the actual sales order. Once the quote has been accepted, you can create a sales order from the quote. You can also create a sales order manually. The sales order is used for the actual sale of an item. The order reflects the information in the sales quote and also contains any changes made. In addition, you can post and print an invoice directly from the sales order.

This chapter covers the following topics:
