New Order

The New Order form allows you process transactions that include the order, customer, and payment information. Through this form, you can add products from your database to the order as 'Line Items'.

To access the New Order Form, click ‘Transactions’ on the side menu bar from your Dashboard then select ‘New Order’ on the drop down menu. See image below:

Order

Fill in the Invoice Number, PO Number, Order ID, and the Line Items fields, if desired. These fields are optional. You can customize these fields by clicking 'Order Form Settings' located on the top hand right side of the page.

Invoice Customization

Once you click 'Order Form Settings', a pop up window will appear.

To automatically generate a new ‘Invoice Number’, check the ‘Auto-Populate Invoice Numbers’ box. Next, enter the desired first invoice number in the ‘Next Invoice Number’ field. Then, enter the desired interval between invoices in the ‘Invoice Number Offset’ field.

For example: If you enter ‘100’ in the ‘Next Invoice Number’ field and ‘5’ in the ‘Invoice Number Offset’ field, the first invoice number would be 100, the second 105, the third 110, and so on.

• Recurring - this will be considered a recurring transaction. Can be used when manually running payments instead of using the billing schedule.
