Special Orders

This is an order that requires product creation from purchasing team. the idea is to have the sales team use existing "generic" products to capture the order and then a purchasing manager or buyer works the order by creating the specific product needed as determines by the salesman order notes. This method works on both the SOI and the POS.

Note: Contact CORESense support to request setup for special fields such as Sales Notes. You will also need to create the generic product so that is available in the SOI and/or POS.
