Creating a Parts Sales Order

Here’s how to create the Sales Order in Garage Hive:

1. You can create a new Sales Order by selecting Sales Orders tile from the Parts Sales Admin role centre, or by creating one from a Sales Quote; select Home from the Sales Quote menu bar, followed by Make Order.

   

2. From the Sales Order list page, select New from the menu bar.

   

3. Enter the customer’s name in the Customer Name field (if the order is new and not created from a sales quote).

4. Add the items for the parts ordered by the customer to the Lines sub-page.

   

5. Scroll down to Invoice Print Options and select the Print Item No. slider if you want to print the Part/Item Numbers in the invoice. Part Numbers will be printed in brackets in the invoice line description.

   

6. To change the default Invoice Print Options for all Sales Order documents, choose the icon in the top-right corner, enter Sales & Receivables Setup, and select the related link.

   

7. Select the Print Item No. slider from the Document Print Option FastTab.

   

8. The column Unit Price (Calc.) Inc. VAT assists you in calculating the selling price and margin; click on the amount in the column, and enter the Unit Price or Margin % in the Edit - Calc Price window.

   

   For example, you can enter a margin of 60 % for all items and so on.

   

9. Select Print/Send from the menu bar, followed by Email Proforma Invoice to send the order confirmation to the customer.

Ship or Invoice the Parts Sales Order

1. When you are ready to ship or invoice the order, select the Post and Print Invoice option from the Take Payment split button dropdown menu under Home in the menu bar, to post and print the invoice. Alternatively, if you only want to post the invoice without printing it, select Post.

   

2. You get three options:
   • Ship - if the customer hasn’t paid but you have sent the parts to the customer.
   • Invoice - can be used once the parts are shipped to create the sales invoice.
   • Ship and Invoice - if the customer has paid and you have sent the parts to the customer at the same time.

   Choose the suitable one for you and click OK.

   

3. In the next window, select the method of payment from the customer and enter the amount in the Amount field to receive the payment. Click the Close button.

   

4. Confirm the posting date in the next popup box, click Yes to proceed or No if you want to modify the dates. Once confirmed, the Sales Order will be successfully posted. To view the invoice, simply open it.

Partial Shipping in the Parts Sales Order

2. To post and print the invoice, select the Post and Print Invoice option from the Take Payment split button dropdown menu under Home in the menu bar. Alternatively, if you only want to post the invoice without printing it, select Post.

   

3. Select Ship and Invoice in the pop-up options and click OK. Note, you can select Ship only to ship without invoicing.

   

4. Enter the payment details, and click Close.

   

5. The items shipped will be updated in the Quantity Shipped column, and the remaining items to ship will be updated in the Qty. to Ship column.

   Note

   If you continue without entering a Vehicle Registration No., the system will generate a dummy registration number that you can replace later.
