Why can't I create multiple invoices off of one quote?
Some of you might be using a system that uses quotes to generate invoices. While it can technically be done, it severely limits the information that can be shown on the order and it assumes that everything related to the order will be perfect every time. Some assumptions that must be true ...You will have enough in stock to cover the order (no backordering), you will receive all of the payment at once (no pre/partial payments will ever be used), and you do not Drop Ship any items.
This is why we strongly encourage you to utilize our Sales Orders in the system. Doing so will allow you to backorder any items needed to fulfill an order, apply pre/partial payments to orders, and allow you to Drop Ship from a remote warehouse. This becomes particularly useful when more than one person is working orders. This video will explain why it is important.
