Creating counter sales

  1. Click Sales Orders>Counter Sales>Counter Sale Entry.
  2. In the Doc/Cust field, specify the customer.
  3. In the Ship-to field, the system displays the ship-to code entered on the sales order along with the full ship-to address. Edit the ship-to code, if necessary. If a customer requests to have an order shipped to an address other than its usual shipping address, use the Temporary Ship-to feature to facilitate this request.
  4. In the Date field specify the date for the counter sale transaction.
  5. (Optional) In the Initiating Warehouse field specify the warehouse from which the items on this order are shipping. If your system uses multiple warehousing, specify the warehouse from which this order initiated. Press F2 or choose the Search button to see the list of warehouses.

  1. Check the Ship Direct check box to indicate that this item is shipped directly to the customer ship-to address. Then specify the Vendor and click OK.
  2. In the Wh field, the system displays the default warehouse for the item. You can modify this value or search for a different warehouse.
  3. In the Ordered field, specify the customer's requested quantity. You can change the unit of measure on the ordered quantity.
  4. In the Committed field, specify a quantity to commit in the warehouse or accept the default. This field defaults to the quantity ordered, if that quantity is available in the selected warehouse.
  5. In the Backordered field, specify a back ordered quantity if the quantity ordered is greater than the available quantity in the selected warehouse. The program skips this field if the customer or your company does not allow back orders (Allow back orders flag not selected in AR Customer F/M and SO Static Control F/M), the item is a direct ship, or the selected warehouse has enough inventory to fill the order. When you specify a back-ordered quantity, Sales Order Entry programs base suggested document creation on the Stock, NonStocked, Uninventoried, and Temporary prompts in Sugg PO/TR by Type section on the Line Options tab of SO Entry Options F/M (SOF915). Use these settings to indicate whether you want to have the system ask to create suggested purchase orders or suggested transfers by item type during Order Entry line processing. Refer to the Suggested Transfer/Purchase Order Creation from Sales Order Entry Prog-rams topic for detailed information about creating suggested warehouse transfer or purchase orders for backordered quantities.
