How to Use the Clone Order Feature

  1. To use this feature, begin by creating or opening an existing order/invoice you would like to duplicate.

    It is best to duplicate orders before they are lotted out. This is because orders already lotted out may have one product with multiple line items. In this case, you may need to delete extra line items for the same product that are not needed on the new order or invoice.

Note  You can clone orders to new orders, invoices to new invoices as well as clone an order to an invoice and vice versa.

  1. Enter the new Ship Date for the order.

  2. Enter a Delivery Date.

  3. Using the drop-down, select Order or Invoice on the Transaction Type entry.

  4. You can select the Retain Grower/Shipper Acct: box if this order will be created for the same grower and shipper.

  5. If quantities will not be the same on this order, you can select the Zero Quantity Ordered box to zero all quantities on the copied order.

  6. Click Ok.

Note  If you are cloning an order to a new order, the new order will open in the Order Entry window.

If you are cloning an order to an invoice, the Invoicing window will need to be opened to view/edit the new invoice. It will be the last invoice created.
