Automatically Generate Sales Orders

You can generate sales orders automatically from a selected group of master/repeating orders. Information from the selected master and repeating orders is copied to the new sales orders. The new order number and order date information is written to the relevant repeating/master orders.

Before You Begin

Job information is copied from master and repeating sales orders to new sales orders only if the following conditions exist:

The Job Cost module is integrated with Sales Order.

The customer number matches the customer number of the job number entered for the sales order.
The Post Invoice Costs to Job Cost check box is selected in Sales Order Options.
The job number, cost code, and cost type entered for the sales order are valid.
