Sales order

A Sales order (SA) can be created in several ways:

  • by entering Perform > Sales order in the meny and click on the +sign.
  • from a customer record in the Customer register.
  • through the agreement with the customer.
Here we are in an Agreement. At the bottom is the Generate Sales Order button.
Here we are at a customer record in the Customer register. At the bottom you find the button Add a new sales order.

Search Sales orders 

Click this button to filter your search.
Example: select those assigned to you, delimit by date etc.

You can scroll through sales orders, partly by clicking on an order in the list, and partly by scrolling with the arrows in the upper right corner inside an order.

If you used a filter for your search among orders, you scroll through that selection.

Sort the list

Symbol Välj kategori / Select categories
Image 2: +sign

You can sort the orders in the list. Do this:

  1. Click on the right part of the symbol (Image 1: View setting).
  2. Click on the small plus sign (Image 2) to the right of the list.
  3. Select categories to be visible.

If you want to change the order, drag and drop the categories where you want them.

To delete a category, drag the category to the + sign (the same one you clicked to add) and drop the category there.

Here we go through the different fields in the order they are when you create a sales order.

Sub group

If you use the subgroups function, select which subgroup to link to the sales order.

Have you added custom fields for a subgroup, those fields will be automatically added to the sales order.

Customer

Enter the customer’s name in the box. The search function (click on the magnifying glass) helps you to find the right existing customers. If the customer is not on the list, write the customer’s name. You will then be asked if you want to add the customer. Answer yes and the customer will be added automatically. If you want to directly fill in more information about the customer, click on + Add customer. A new tab in your browser opens where you can fill in all the information in your Customer Register.
The field is mandatory.

Facility

Write the customer’s facility name. The search function (click on the magnifying glass) helps you to locate existing facilities. If the facility is not included in the list, enter the name of the facility. You will then be asked if you want to add the facility. Answer yes and the facility will be added automatically.
If you want to fill in more information than just the name of the facility, click on + Add facility and a new tab will open in your browser. Fill in the information in your Facility Register. Save the information, close the window and return to the first tab.
If the billing address differs from the address of the service object, a facility must be selected or added.

Invoiced to

Select a customer.

The field is activated in the Sales order settings – Show invoiced to. The setting requires admin permission. Read more about invoiced to here.

Object

Service objectss entered on the customer in the Customer register appear when you place the cursor in the box.

If the service object is not in the list, you can add it by clicking + Add a new service object.

Seller

Select a name from the list. Everyone in your group is on the list.

Custom field

If you have added a custom field it will appear here. Read more about custom fields.

Person of contact / customer

Here you can either search for contact persons / customers for the customer / facility or add a new contact person / customer. The information is saved so you can quickly search for it next time.

Status

Status is displayed in the list of sales orders. Status is set in several ways.

  • If you do not enter anything here, the system automatically selects status Received when you create a new sales order. When you then click on Ready for invoicing and Invoiced, the status also changes.
  • You can enter any expression for status. Your self-selected expression remains even if you click on Ready for invoicing and Invoiced.
  • If you create a Sales order from an Agreement, the name of the agreement + the current agreement period will be set as status.
  • If you create a Sales order via Quotation, the status is retrieved from the assignment/service object description. If there isn’t one, the default description that you set under Quotation settings is retrieved. If you haven’t set a default description the status is set to Received.

If you want to change the set status, click Edit on the order. If you want to use the system’s expression, delete all text in the Status field at the latest before you choose to mark as invoiced.

The system sorts the sales order as invoiced, i.e. the order is placed last in the list of orders, regardless of the expression entered under Status when you click Mark as invoiced.

Cost center

If further information regarding the cost center needs to be included on the invoice, it can be stated here.

Customer’s order number

Here you enter the customer’s order number if applicable.
