Process Standing Order
Overview
If you have an agreement with your customers for the exact order quantity based on the weekdays, you can use the Standing Order as a template to set up weekly orders.
Steps to Create and Process Standing Orders
Create a new Standard Order.
Enter Sell-to Customer.
If you want to bill to another account, specify Alternate Billing on the Sell-to Customer account. When mass creating Sales Orders, GoldFinch will use Alternate Billing on the Sales Orders.
Define Starting Date and Ending Date.
It is possible to create a recurring job to update Starting Date and Ending Date for future orders.
Enter items, then enter quantities for each of the weekdays.
