Orders: Set up tables

Order types determine the processing stages for orders, and you must define your order types before you can enter and process orders. Each time you enter a product order, you must select a defined order type. Order types that have been assigned orders cannot be deleted.

Order types fall into one of four system-defined order type categories: Standard, Debit Memo, Credit Memo, or Pro-Forma. You can define an unlimited number of order types for each order type category.

The category selected for an order type determines the available Type Options, or order processing stages, for the order type. Of the available Type Options, you select which are required, and you determine if an order type affects inventory. Order types are defined on the Set up order types window.
