TRAVERSE Global v11.1
Orders
Use the transactions functions to enter customer invoices, orders, price quotes, credit memos, RMAs, and cash invoices. You can also use these functions to edit, verify, or backorder transactions. You can enter transactions before you receive payment, when you receive partial payment, or when you receive the entire payment.
The ability to enter Return of Merchandise Authorizations (RMA) gives you the ability to accept and credit returned merchandise. An RMA precedes a Credit Memo like a Quote precedes an order. An RMA number will be issued, and the transaction will be held until product is received against the RMA.
Note: If you interface Sales Order with Inventory, Sales Order transactions update the Inventory in-use and committed quantities online. When you post Sales Order transactions, the system updates the available quantities, dates, detail history, and lot and serial history if the Inventory options are set to retain this information.
After you enter an invoice or order, you can print online invoices, picking slips, and quotes if you select these options in the Business Rules function. You can print online invoices for any customer, even if the customer's record does not require that the customer receive invoices. You can also create a Purchase Order or Purchase Requisition from a line item you want to add to the order. See SO Link to PO for more information.
Note: A pop-up notification window will appear if the customer is on credit hold when you enter a sales order.
Transactions do not need to be in the currency assigned to the customer for which you are entering a transaction. That is, transaction amounts may be entered in any Active Currency. Use the Base Currency check box that appears when you select a customer that uses a currency other than the base currency to view or enter transaction amounts in your company's base, or functional, currency.
With the Configurator application, you can use the Orders function to configure a sales order item or a manufactured item. You choose which type of item (sale item or manufactured item) you are ordering when you select the item to configure.

Note: You can select True from the ShowTaskPanel field in the View > Preferences... screen to default task panes across the entire system to automatically expand when opening applicable functions. Selecting False in the ShowTaskPanel field defaults task panes to stay closed when opening applicable functions. Even when set to False, you can always use the pushpin icon to pin and unpin the task pane to the right-hand side of the TRAVERSE window.
