The Fitrix Order Entry module when integrated with the Inventory Management, Production Order Processing, Accounts Receivable, and Purchasing, gives you all of the functionality you need to process customer orders quickly and accurately. It provides a comprehensive system for tracking and managing customer orders and is designed with real time transaction updating and complete information access. You can enter orders of many types: quotations that can then be converted to regular orders by merely changing the order type, drop ship orders shipped directly from your vendor, blanket sales orders that can be released and shipped in increments, credit and debit memos, and returned materials orders (RMAs). Item availability and pricing is checked real time. Once the order is entered, your shipping department can print picking tickets and packing lists and ship the order. The final step is to invoice your customer and when it is posted the quantity on hand is reduced, the open AR record for the customer is created, and the transaction is recorded in your General Ledger.
