The purpose of this guide is to explain how to use the Back Order Function in Autosoft.
This process has been broken up into 4 Sections- Enabling Backorders for Debtors, Placing Stock On Backorder, Ordering Stock on Backorder and How to Invoice it Once the Stock Arrives
Part 1 - Enabling the Debtor Customer for Back Orders
You can then choose which customers want to be setup for Automatic Backorder so that when a part is on order for a job/invoice, it will alert to backorder
- Go to Accounts – Debtors – Debtor Master File
- Search and Select Debtor
- Options – Tick Box Use Backorders
- F2 to Save
Part 2 - Placing the Stock On Backorder
- Go toyour customer RO/Invoice (this may be a Workshop Invoice/RO, Labour Invoice/RO OR a Parts Invoice)
- Enter you invoice details as normal
- Add the Parts the Customer wishes to buy to the Invoice
If you do not have enough stock of this line to fill the total on the invoice, it will then prompt you to put it on backorder – select Yes
- This will then adjust the Supplied to the amount you can supply to the customer now and the Back Order to the amount remaining to fill the Qty Ordered. You can adjust these figures as necessary
- Continue with the invoice and add any other charges as necessary –then Finalise (This will only charge the customer for the Parts Supplied)
Part 3 - Creating and sending an Order for the Backorder Stock
- Go to Parts – Stock – Stock Order
- Enter your Stock Order Details as normal
