What is Sequence No. and how do I give Sequence No. to each customer?

Sequence No. is same as your Customer No. It can be any numeric or alphanumeric number. Your reports and screens will be automatically display each customer entry in the order by the Sequence No. It is recommended that you use leading zeros or same number of digits for all Sequence Nos. for proper sorting and ordering.

Why the price is not automatically entered, when I enter a code in the Standing Order screen?

Check this customer record. Which price table is assigned to this customer? You may not have the price listed in that price table for this code. First update that Price Table and then enter the Standing Orders.

What is QOH?

QOH is short for Quantity On Hand. It is the quantity of that item (unsold) in your stock now.

My invoice is not accepting any quantity. What is wrong?

You have not entered QOH (Quantity On Hand) in the Item Master or your QOH is zero. Increase your QOH for that item in the Item Master. You may not be entering your purchases in the Inventory.

How can I not fill standard orders for a customer just for a day or more?

If you do not want to fill the standard order for a customer on a particular day, make sure you change the Standard Order to "N" in the customer record before you fill the standard orders on that day. Do not forget to change it back to "Y" if you want to fill his or her order next time.

Back to Top

Why some customers' orders are not filled automatically?

You must have "Y" in the Customer's Standing Order field, otherwise you will not be able to fill the standing orders automatically for that customer. For a while if you turned it off by entering "N", turned back on by entering "Y".

OR

Check your customers' standing order list. If you have not entered the "Day" correctly, it would not fill the order. You must select the "Day" from the drop down list.

What should I do when my customer has changed the standing order?

Fill the order as usual and then edit the invoice for that customer with changes. If it is a permanent change, then just change that customer's Standing Order and then fill the orders as usual.

How do I create Invoices for my customers?

A new invoice for each customer will be created automatically each month when first time you will fill standing orders for that month. You can see the detail of each invoice in the Sales Account screen. Here You can also select a specific invoice to edit the invoice for adding or removing entries.

Back to Top

How do I stop creating some customer's invoices?

If you void an invoice, the software will create a new invoice for that customer when you will fill the standing orders next month. If you do not want to create a new invoice for that customer, make sure you change that customer's status on the Customer Screen to "Inactive". You can make the customer Active again anytime.

NOTE: The software will not automatically create an invoice for the same month after you void it. Later if you want to re-create the invoice for the same month, you have to create it manually by choosing "New Invoice" from the Invoice Menu.

Can I fill standing orders for the previous month?

Yes, you can still fill previous month's standing orders as long as you have not filled this month's orders yet. In other words, do not fill standing orders for this month until all previous month orders are filled and invoices are printed.

How do I make a customer Inactive?

Go to Customer Screen and find the customer's record. Then go to the Status field on the screen and choose the status "Inactive".

How do I know which invoices I have already filled manually for change orders?

Once you fill the standing orders, you can print a report called "Print A List of Blank Invoices". This report will then show you all invoices, which are not manually filled yet for non-standing order customers.

How do I print a different contact information on my invoice for a different route?

This software manages multiple routes as long as they are all under the same distributor contact information. Please contact Quality Vision to order 2nd or more licenses if you require different contact/account information for different routes or if you want to manage different routes on different computers.

Do I have to enter prices in the Standing Order table for each customer?

No. You may not enter prices in the Standing Order table for each customer unless you want to charge some customers different price than your standard pricing including pricing in other 9 price tables.

When I was filling orders, computer said my orders are already filled. Actually, the orders are not filled. What is the problem and how do I avoid such message in the future?

You must have added one or more items in an invoice for the fill date in advance. When the software is filling the order, first it checks to see if any order for that date is filled. If it finds the order, it gives you this message.

In the versions 5.1B and higher, it will allow you to continue fill standing orders for that date. However, the orders will not be filled for those customers for whom you manually entered the orders for that date. Please check those invoices and make sure you have entered all the orders for that date.

To avoid the warning message and to make sure that you have entered all the orders for a given date, no orders should be entered manually until you have filled standing orders for that date.

Why the program is not filling an item/code? I know that the code is in the Item Master. What is wrong?

Why one or more of my customers' invoices are not printing in sequential order, even though it shows correct sequence number? Other reports also do not show entries for these customers in sequential order. What is wrong?

How do I delete inactive customers from my program?

You may not delete inactive customers in order to maintain history of each customer including start date, balance due, last activity date etc.., whether active or inactive. In case you want to delete the customer, you need to delete all invoices and standing orders for that customer first before you attempt to delete the customer record. Contact Quality Vision for further support on this issue.

Why I cannot fill this month standing orders for any date for one or more customers?

Either you might have changed the customer status to Inactive or have deleted invoices for those customers from the Sales Account Screen. On the Customer screen, if the status of each of those customers is Inactive, change them to Active. If the current month invoices for these customers are deleted, please contact Quality Vision for the support on this issue. Your entire backup is required on 100mb zip disk or CD-RW to fix the problem.

When I was filling Standing Order, I got a warning message for missing invoice for specific customer(s) and to create invoice manually and fill orders for that date manually. Why it did not create the missing invoice automatically?
