Expand/Collapse item  Overview

If a customer is related to a Sage CRM company, you can enter sales orders and quotes in Sales Order Entry for the customer and track them in Sage CRM. This information is automatically synchronized with the Sage CRM company. You can access Sales Order Entry from Sage CRM or from within Sage 100 to enter Sage CRM sales orders and customer quotes.

Sage CRM sales orders and customer quotes require the entry of a Sage CRM opportunity. Orders and quotes can then be tracked by opportunity in Sage CRM.

Note You cannot create master or repeating orders for Sage CRM.

  • The Customer Relationship Management module must be set up before sales orders and quotes can be created. For more information, see Set Up Customer Relationship Management for a New Company.

  • Sage CRM companies must be related to Accounts Receivable customers before you can enter Sage CRM information in Sales Order Entry. To enter a prospect quote for a Sage CRM company that is not related to a customer, see Enter a Sage CRM Prospect Quote.

For information on how to enter an opportunity on the fly, see Enter a Sage CRM Opportunity On the Fly.
