You have purchased the Inventory and Order Management feature, and you need to configure order management in the existing system.

System Features and Minimum Required Settings

To be able to configure the sales order management and purchase order management functionality in the system, you need to enable the Inventory and Order Management feature on the Enable/Disable Features (CS101000) form.
