Creating Standing Orders

Transactions > Sales Orders > New > New Standing Order

Standing orders may also be referred to as Recurring Invoices. This option is available if the Extended Sales Order Statuses profile option is enabled in the Profile Manager.

1. To enter a Standing order, from the sales order search window, click on the drop down arrow next to the New button and choose New Standing Order.

2. The sales order window is displayed and user can now enter the debtor account details and the order lines as per a conventional sales order.

3. Click Save and the system will assign the next sales order number.

Tip: Add Reference as an extra field to the sales order header to help identify which standing orders are to be processed.

Note: A Standing Order is considered an outstanding order, and therefore commits stock. Processing a standing order creates an invoice for the order which processes stock movements. The standing order is retained as a commitment to represent the next repeat of the order and therefore still also reserves the stock. For a repeatable list of stock items to use as needed on sales order entry, use Order Template BOMs.
