Configuration

The Sales Order validation rules are configurable. By default Sale Order confirmation is prevented is the Customer or Invoice Address is not approvaed to be used in sales.

To configure Sales Order validations navigate to Sales / Configuration / Sales Orders / Sale Exception Rules. You need to belong to the Exception Manager security group to see this menu option.

For new customer to require approval before being sold to, configure the Contact Stages appropriately. For example:

• Navigate to Contacts / Configuration / Contact Stages

• Edit the “Active” stage: uncheck “Default Stage” and check “Approved for Sales”

• Edit the “Draft” stage: check “Default Stage” and uncheck “Approved for Sales”

Usage

To approve a Partner to be used in sales:

• Edit the Partner form, and in the “Sales & Purchase” tab check the “Candidate to Sell” box.

• Make sure the Parter is in a Stage that has the “Approved for Sales” checkbox enabled. If this is the case, the Partner will automatically have enabled the “Can Sell To” checkbox. found next to the “Candidate to Sell” checkbox.

The “Candidate to Sell” checkbox is only available in a draft/to approve Stage. The “Can Sell To” will only be set when moving to a Stage that is not draft/to approve. Moving from an approved Stage to a draft one will not automatically reset the “Can Sell To”. This means that removing from Can Sale state also needs to go through an approval.

On a Sales Order:

• The “Customer” and “Invoice Address” selection lists only propose partners you “Can Sell To”.

• The CONFIRM button will show a blocking exception message if the selected Customeror Invoice Address do not have the “Can Sell To” flag checked (this may vary depending how the exception rules are configured).
