The order page consists of the field group containing general data, and several tabs.
Customer | Company or person that the order is generated for. |
Total | Total cost of all products in the order, displayed in the order currency. This is a non-editable field. The value is calculated automatically based on the cost of all products added on the [Products] detail. |
Payment amount | The amount to be paid within the order. The value is specified in the order currency. This is a non-editable field. The payment amount is calculated automatically by adding actual payments on the [Installation plan] detail. |
Status | Current status of the order, e.g., “Planned” or “In process”. |
This tab contains the list of products and services included in the order. Here you can save information about the quantity of each product, price, taxes and discount. The [Products] detail in the [Orders] section is similar to the one in the [Invoices] section.
Order product page is used to edit records on the detail.
Click the button to add products to the order. A product selection page will open. Use this page to search for products and add them to the order.
This detail displays the delivery and payment sequence of the order. Each record of the installment plan indicates a payment or delivery event for an installment. An installment plan represents your arrangements regarding the delivery of goods, their payment and is basically a delivery and payment schedule. As the order moves forward, you can set the actual dates and amounts.
You can plan deliveries and payments on the actual dates or calculate each new date based on the date of the previous payment or delivery entry (e.g., payment within three days after delivery, etc.). If you change the timeframe of an existing entry, all timeframes of the subordinate entries will be recalculated automatically. Bpm’online will help calculate the expected amount within the entry as a remaining balance of the order payments and deliveries.
You can populate the installment plan either manually or via a template. Read more >>>
Name | Entry name, for example, “Prepaid” or “Full delivery”. |
Installment type | Installment plan entry type, for example, “Delivery” or “Payment”. |
Due date | Expected date of delivery or payment. It is calculated automatically depending on the previous entry date and the number of deferment days, if the “Defer from due date” or ”Defer from actual date” deferment types are selected. |
Percentage, % | Expected delivery or payment amount in quantitative and percentage terms. The values of the [Expected amount] and [Percentage, %] fields are interconnected. If you change a value in one of the two fields, the value in the other one will be changed accordingly. When you select an installment plan entry type, these fields will automatically display the amount and percentage of the remaining balance for payments and deliveries within the order. For example, when you specify the first payment within the order, the [Percentage, %] field will display “100%“, and the [Expected amount] field will display the value of the [Total, base currency] field of the order page. If a prepaid amount of 25% from the total order amount was added on the detail, then the system will automatically set 75% value in the [Percentage, %] field and will display the corresponding amount in the [Expected amount] field. The similar way can be used to calculate deliveries. |
Expected amount | |
Deferment type | Specify the deferment type which will be used to calculate the expected date of obligation. The “Fixed date“ value is used for the first record on the detail. The “Defer from actual date“ and “Defer from due date“ values are used to calculate the date deferred from the due or actual date of the previous obligation. When these values are selected, the [Previous entry] field becomes required. If the deferment type is “Defer from actual date“, but the actual date is not specified for the previous entry, then the deferment will be calculated from the due date of the previous entry. |
Previous entry | Previous payment or delivery, whose date will be used to calculate the due date of the current payment or delivery. This field becomes required if the “Defer from due date“ or “Defer from actual date“ values are set in the [Deferment type] field. |
Deferment (days) | Specify the number of days to calculate the obligation due date, starting from the date of the previous entry. |
Actual date | Actual date of completed obligation. This field will be automatically filled in with the current date value when the entry status changes to “Completed“. |
