How to Record a Sales Order

The operating problem

What needs to become clearer

A business may understand how to record a sales order in principle and still handle it inconsistently while creating, correcting, printing and retrieving sales documents during normal business hours. The useful question is who owns record a sales order, when it is recorded and how an exception is approved.

Recommended approach

Start with the workflow, then test the software

Map record a sales order on paper before configuration. Ask the responsible operator to document the present billing path and test it from item selection through payment and day closing, while a second person checks the result against sample invoices, correction cases, payment records and a signed day-end check.
