Manage Sales Orders
This section will guide on how to manage orders across channels (both physical stores and website).
Sales Order Management
O2VEND is an advanced sales management system that allows businesses to capture and manage sales orders from various channels such as online e-commerce store, retail POS, back-office, and O2VEND application. This allows businesses to efficiently manage and track their sales orders, regardless of the source.
Sales orders can be generated with or without a customer user, making it easy for businesses to process orders from both registered and unregistered customers. Once the sales order is generated, it can be easily referenced in the Delivery Challan or Sales Invoice while fulfilling the order. This ensures accuracy and efficiency in the fulfillment process, and makes it easy to track and trace orders.
The O2VEND sales management system also provides businesses with the ability to manage their inventory, create and track deliveries, and manage customer interactions. This allows businesses to have a comprehensive view of their sales and customer interactions, making it easy to identify trends and make informed decisions about their sales strategy.
This sales order process flow depicts the action steps as follows:
- Create a sales order
- Add the Advanced Receipt if advance payment is done
- Create Invoice or Delivery challan based on the created SO.
- Issue the goods/services
- Once all items are marked fulfilled the SO is marked complete.
