Create Sales Order for Billing

This tutorial guides you through creating a Sales Order for billing. Proper shipping location, heading format, and billing details are required to ensure accurate reporting and GL code allocation.

Video Tutorial

1. Review Shipping Information

For billing purposes, the shipping location is critical. Always select a location from the system instead of manually entering an address. This allows the system to identify the correct location and apply the appropriate GL code.

4. Choose the Address

The shipping location must be selected from the available location list. If the location is not available, add it to the company before creating the Sales Order.

5. Enter the Heading

Headings can be configured differently for Monthly and Sign Run orders.

For Monthly orders, use the following format: Ticket Number - Campaign Type. The value before the dash is treated as the Ticket Number, and the value after the dash is treated as the Campaign Type. For E-Store orders, the system automatically uses the heading as the Ticket Number, so no custom formatting is required.

Example:

12345 - Grand Opening Campaign
Ticket Number: 12345
Campaign Type: Grand Opening Campaign

6. Enter the Sign Run Heading

For Sign Run orders, if the order is assigned to a specific week, enter the heading using the format: Week Number - Heading Value. The text before the dash identifies the week number in the report. If the order is not assigned to a specific week, no custom heading is required, and the system will automatically use the order number

Example:

Week 1 - Banner Order
Week Number: Week 1
