Sales and Purchasing

In the Sales Order module during invoice data entry, you can now apply multiple sales orders to an invoice if the invoice type is either Standard or Cash Sale. In addition, several reports, forms, registers, and on-screen inquiries have been updated to indicate that multiple sales orders have been applied.

In the Purchase Order module when creating POs using ‘Auto Generate from Sales Orders’, any drop-ship items that are used in multiple lines in a sales order can now remain on separate lines in the purchase order. Previously, duplicate lines were consolidated into one line in the PO.
