The order tracking method is specified in sales order slips, and the orders are linked to the dispatches or invoices according to the selection made. The Approval Info option of the order slips also allows the pre-order information to be entered as in the proforma invoices. The order quantities cannot be reflected on the record totals without the approval. The Approval Info window contains the following options:
- Proposal
- Undeliverable
- Deliverable
Approval Options
When Proposal option is checked, the quantity information in the slip line does not affect the record totals. The orders in Proposal status are not transferred into dispatches or invoices. The order slips in proposal status are displayed with a "P" letter in the sales orders list, indicating that the order is a proposal. Such slips are not processed in Order Delivery Analysis, Material Surplus and Detailed Order Delivery reports.
When Deliverable option is checked, the orders in the order slips can be transferred into the dispatches and invoices. The orders specified as deliverable cannot be changed to proposal after being transferred into dispatches or invoices. However, in cases that the whole order cannot be delivered, the approval info can be changed as Undeliverable to control the delivery.
In the LOGO application, the approval info option is also displayed in the Sales Order Slips list. Once the record for which the approval info will be changed is specified, the approval info option is selected from the right mouse button menu. The options are listed and a selection is made.
