Order Entry/Invoicing

       The Order Entry/Invoicing system provides the basic customer
       order processing functions of order entry, acknowledgement,
       picking, and billing.  The summary and detail information
       processed by Order Entry/Invoicing is made available to the
       production and inventory control applications for use in
       inventory status, demand history, and requirements planning.  The
       invoicing function also creates entries for sales
       commissions,sales history, and accounts receivable.

       A customer order file is maintained containing all necessary
       information for shipping and billing.  Shipping addresses may be
       the same as the customers bill to address, the address of any
       other customer on file, or they may be entered manually.
       Discounts are automatically computed for entire orders or
       individual line items.  The tax rate for an order can be entered
       manually, or a user defined default may be used.  The system also
       provides for the processing of multiple release (blanket) orders.

       The format of invoices, credit memos and packing lists can be
       varied considerably through the use of a number of user defined
       defaults.  Invoices may be printed as they are entered or in a
       subsequent batch process.

       Sales history and analysis provides for detail sales history
       reporting as well as summarized sales analysis reporting.  The
       format of sales analysis reports is determined through the use of
       a comprehensive report generator.
