Add a transaction

  1. Go to Order Entry > All > Transactions and select Add (circle) next to the type of transaction you want to create.

    For example, select Add (circle) next to Sales order.

    The <Transaction name> page appears.

  2. Enter the needed information in the applicable fields.

    At a minimum, you must complete the required header fields and add at least one line item to post or save a draft of the transaction. See the Field descriptions for details about each field.

  3. When you have completed entering the transaction information, do one of the following:
    • Select Post to save the transaction. The transaction has a State of Pending and is ready for the next step in your workflow.
    • Select More actions and then select Post & new to save this transaction and create a new transaction.
    • Select Draft to save the transaction in a Draft State.
    • Select More actions and then select Draft & continue to save this transaction as a Draft and create a new transaction.

Copy an existing transaction

Copying is an easy way to duplicate the information from an existing transaction to create a new transaction. For example, you can copy a sales order into a sales order, a sales invoice into a sales order, and so on. When you copy, the customer and line item information is duplicated.

Copying does not change the transaction you are copying from. It simply creates a new transaction.

  1. Go to Order Entry > All > Transactions and select Add (circle) next to the type of transaction you want to create.

    The <Transaction name> page appears.

  2. Select More actions and then select Copy from.

    A Select Order Entry transaction list appears.

  3. Find the transaction you want to copy and then Select.

    A new transaction is created with the information from the selected transaction.

  4. Edit the fields as needed.

    At a minimum, you need to complete the required header fields and add at least one line item to post or save a draft of the transaction. See the Field descriptions for details about each field.

  5. When you have completed entering the transaction information, select one of the following options:
    • Post: Saves the transaction. The transaction has a State of Pending and is ready for the next step in your workflow.
    • More actions > Post & new: Saves the transaction with a State of Pending and creates a new transaction.
    • Draft: Saves the transaction with a State of Draft.
    • More actions > Draft & continue: Saves the transaction with a State of Draft and creates a new transaction.
