Viewing Sales Order Totals Summaries

Use the Order Totals Summary screen to view a running total of all of the payment activity on an order. The screen works for multiple generations, direct shipment orders, lot items, returns, deposits, and cash payments, and displays past shipments, payments, and future generation totals. For example, you can determine the original amount due on the order generation, how much a customer has paid to date, and how much the customer still owes.

This screen can be particularly helpful in showroom environments, where orders are multi-generation and remain open over long periods of time. The screen shows a running balance due and lets you drill down to view any order generation, or quickly print the summary. You can also access an A/R Inquiry that displays the customer's current account information.

To view the order totals summary:

  1. Create or open a sales order and display the order's Totals screen.

The Totals screen displays automatically after you enter the Status screen information for customers required to pay now. If needed, display the Totals screen using the Totals hot key on the order's Body or Status screens.
