Posting Sales Orders

When you ship an item, you must post the order for it. The procedure is the same for orders that are converted from quotes and for orders that are created directly.

To Post Sales Orders:

  1. Create the sales order and fill in the relevant information.

  2. Click Posting.

  3. Click one of the following:

    Choice

    Result

    Post

    Posts the order without printing a shipment or an invoice.

    Post and Print

    Posts the order and prints a shipment (if you ship the order without invoicing it) or an invoice (if you invoice the order).

  4. After you have chosen whether or not to print the order, a window appears in which you must specify how you want to post the order:

    Posting Option

    Result

    Ship and Invoice

    Invoices and ships the items.

  5. Select a posting option, and then click OK.

    A window shows the status of the posting process.
