Put a Sales order line on hold and splitting a Packing Slip

You can put Sales order lines on hold, or split them to a new Packing slip. This allows you to invoice part of a Sales Order when all lines have not been fulfilled.

Splitting a packing slip to avoid invoicing lines that are on hold 

Introduction

Where you have a Sales order with multiple lines, you may wish to put some lines On hold until you are ready to invoice them.

This allows you to invoice the lines for goods that have been dispatched on a Packing slip, while leaving other goods On hold until you are ready to invoice them.

This feature can be used:

• • where your customer has made a large order and takes items as needed for the different stages of their project, and you wish to invoice them as they take the goods; or:
  • where you are waiting for the correct pricing for an item from your Supplier, so the item is recorded on the Sales order but has not yet been priced, meaning that the price currently shown may be zero.

When goods are receipted in, a Packing slip is created, so that the Stock items are allocated to your customer. However, if you don't want to invoice them yet, you can split items from the Packing slip on to separate Packing slips, and flag them as On Hold on the Sales order.

When you are ready to invoice items that are on hold, you can return to the Sales order to remove the On hold flag. This allows you flexibility on which Packing slips to invoice.
