Process Manufacturing Sales Order Features:

The Sales Order system is designed to provide a powerful system to enter, ship and record relevant sales and gross margin information. The system interfaces directly to Accounts Receivable. Customers can have hundreds of different ship to locations. Customers are assigned territories and a sales person by the ship to location. This method allows for flexibility because territories and sales persons can be assigned by geographical location or customer grouping.

Streamlined Sales Order is designed to enable Customer Service Representatives (CSR's ) to quickly enter sales orders while speaking with the customer on the phone. Many CSR's can enter orders at the same time. Quick popup lists and searches enable the CSR to quickly find the customer identification number and the customer's ship to location and products to purchase. Previous customer purchase history showing customer orders, dates, products, quantities and purchase price are available with the click of a button. This helps the CSR to quickly identify products the customer may want to purchase but can't identify.

Pricing The system has many different pricing methods. Pricing methods can include a list price, discount price, prices by quantity purchased breaks, and more. Products can be popped into the sales order by double clicking from pop up lists. The price will appear automatically. The CSR enters the quantity to purchase. The product status is included on the screen. Product status reflects quantity in stock, quantity available, quantity committed, quantity required and quantity back ordered. This information assists the CSR in determining accurate ship dates. If the customer is over the credit limit, the CSR is notified by the system and the bill of lading will not print. The system has the ability to print pick tickets showing product by location and lot number with manufacture date to ship oldest product first. The sales order can print bill of ladings, acknowledgements, and invoices. Invoices can be printed individually or batch printed at the end of the day.

E-Commerce Option
The E-Commerce Option enables your customers to enter orders 24 hours per day, 7 days per week via the Internet. Your customers log in by entering their identification number and password. They can be presented with a specific product list and prices unique to the customer or an open list of all products. Different customers can have different prices. During the E-Commerce sales order entry, the customer selects their ship to location, and add the product and quantity to ship into the shopping cart. The order is entered directly into the Harvest database. If you print a list of open sales orders, that order will appear on the list. If you don't have the product in stock, it will be shown as required. Other features include the ability to check order status as well as closed orders.

The system has many reports including:

  • Open Sales Orders
  • Closed Sales Orders
  • Gross Margin Report
  • Sales by Territory and Salesman
  • Sales by customer by product for a range of months for gallons, pounds, cases, and dollars.
  • Sales by product by customer for a range of months for gallons, pounds, cases, and dollars.
  • A sales forecast program is available for forecasting by customer by product line.
  • Late shipment report.

The system is powerful and efficient. Our software ships millions of dollars of orders every year with CSR departments that have several CSR's entering orders in different locations simultaneously. It will provide the information your marketing department needs for sales forecasting and sales analysis. With the E-Commerce option enabled, what better to increase sales than to enable your customers enter them on their own, when they want to.

A complete online history of purchases by a customer is available at the click of a button from the sales order screen. This is useful to review past purchases or prices charged to the customer on past orders. Once the sales order is entered, print the bill of lading and pick ticket for distribution. Mark the order shipped. The system displays product quantities, lots and locations so the user can specify if what is used is different from the default. When the order is marked shipped, it updates the AR Sales Journal, the customer history, the product histories, and generates the invoice. Print the invoice. Invoices can be printed individually from the order screen or batch printed at the end of the day.
