The Order Form
From: Main Menu -- Add/Edit Customers -- Right Click Popup Menu
Use this form to view customer orders in detail, or to create new, blank orders and print work orders. You can also use the Order Summary Form to view orders. See the HowTo Guide on Order Taking for more explanation.
NOTE: Move the cursor over the picture of the form. When you see the little hand thingy
appear, you can click on the item to get more information!
NOTE: The menu to the right (with customers, receivers, etc.) is displayed whenever you right click inside the form you are working in, allowing you to quickly move from form to form as you enter customer information.
SalesPerson: Enter the name of the person who took the order, or select a name from the drop down list. If you leave this blank, the default sales person is automatically filled in. You can set the default sales person by using the Login Form. Double click on this edit box to modify the list of sales people.
Data source: Orders.SalesPerson
OrderDate: Enter the date the order was taken. If you leave this blank, today's date is automatically filled in.
Data source: Orders.OrderDate
Technicians: Enter the name(s) (or select from the drop down list) of any technicians who may be performing service. You don't have to enter any names here. Double click on the edit box to modify the list of technicians.
Data source: Orders.Technicians
Navigation Buttons: Use these buttons to move to the first, previous, next, or last order for the current customer.
New Order: Create a new, blank order. Although orders are created implicitly when you add receivers, service, program, or payments to the customer, there are times when you don't know what the order will entail. Generally, you would create a new order and fill in the Service Requested field and then print a work order. You can add what was actually done in the order later, and SatTracker will use the latest Order date for any receivers, service, program, or payments.
Delete Order: Click on this button to delete an order. Receivers are automatically returned to inventory.
Invoice: Click on this button to print an invoice.
Work Order: Click on this button to print an Work Order.
Close: Closes this form.
