Prerequisites
Before initiating a Sale Order, sufficient inventory must be available in the system.
- Inventory Addition: Ensure that the stock has been updated by navigating to the Add Purchase Invoice module and logging the incoming inventory.
Phase 1: Creating a New Sale Order
Navigate to the Sale Order dashboard to initiate a new transaction. The form is divided into three main sections: Document Details, Item Mapping, and Order Summary.
1. Document & Party Details
Fill in the primary transaction details at the top of the form:
- Document Type: Will default to Sale Order.
- Transaction Date: Select the current date or backdate as per company policy (e.g., 28-04-2026).
- Document Number Prefix & Number: Select the appropriate prefix (e.g., SALE-) and input/verify the auto-generated Document Number.
- From Party Type & Name: Select the originating party type and choose the specific party name from the dropdown.
- To Party Type & Company: Select the receiving party type and the target company placing the order.
2. Item Details & Pricing
Add the products requested by the client in the item table:
- Select Item: Choose the specific inventory item from the dropdown menu.
- Order Unit & Qty: Define the unit of measurement and input the total quantity (click the Slab link if tier-based pricing applies).
- Pricing & Taxes: * Verify the Price (Excl GST) and DP Price (Excl GST).
- Apply any applicable discounts using Disc Type and Disc val.
- The system will auto-calculate the Taxable Amt, Tax (%), and final Gross Amt for the line item.
- Add New Item: Click this primary button to insert additional rows for multi-item orders. Use the Trash Can icon on the right to remove any incorrect line items.
3. Summary & Attachments
Review the automated calculations and add any supporting documentation:
- Calculations: Verify the auto-populated fields at the bottom, including Total Item Discount, Taxable Amount, Total, Rounding Off, and the final Total Amount.
- Freight details: Select the correct option under Freight Paid By Party.
- Proof of Order: Use the Choose File button to upload any client purchase orders, emails, or physical confirmations.
- Additional Note: Enter any specific delivery instructions or manual notes regarding the order.
Phase 2: Forwarding for Approval
Once the Sale Order is fully drafted, it must be routed to the Accounts Department for financial verification.
- Remarks: Enter any context or specific instructions in the Remarks for Next Department text box located at the bottom of the screen.
- Action Buttons:
- Click Forward to instantly route the Sale Order to the Accounts Department's queue.
- (Optional) Click Hold if the order is incomplete and needs to be saved as a draft for later.
Phase 3: Accounts Approval & Inventory Deduction
This phase is handled by the Accounts/Admin department.
- Approval: The Accounts Department reviews the forwarded Sale Order. Upon successful verification of pricing, credit limits, and terms, they will approve the document.
- Document Generation: Post-approval, the system will prompt the generation of a final dispatch document. Based on the active Company Configuration, the user will be restricted to generating either:
- A Sale Invoice (Tax document)
- A Delivery Challan (Non-tax dispatch document)
- Inventory Deduction: The moment the Sale Invoice or Challan is successfully generated, the system will automatically deduct the finalized item quantities from the central inventory in real-time.
