Keep the order, dispatch and invoice connected across the sales handover.
Sales, stock, billing and accounts in one operational system.
A customer order that will be fulfilled in more than one dispatch. Identify the item and quantity ready to leave the location. Compare each dispatch with the outstanding order before creating the next invoice. Create quotations, sales orders, dispatch records and invoices from the same underlying customer and product information. The next document starts from the work already completed. The useful improvement is a clearer record and responsibility at this point in the work. Review the routine example with the person who handles it before choosing a wider setup.
