N/Compass' Billing and Order Entry System is designed to operate stand-alone or as an interface with our Inventory, Accounts Receivable and General Ledger applications.
Support Net's Billing/Order features a simple order entry process with efficient order fulfillment. Complete on-line editing notifies when you're low on stock, if a customer exceeded their credit limit or when other products may be available to ship the order. The "unlimited history" feature allows you to track information as long as you determine.
Multiple Bill-To and Ship-To Addresses
Allows your operators to select the appropriate customer address while entering the order.
Order Release Management
Orders can be turned into sales or placed on automatic credit hold, allowing sales and credit managers the capability to approve and release all from one screen. Sales screen also displays each order's gross profit margin. Orders may be "pre-billed" or "post-billed."
Auto Generation and Auto Release of Backorders
N/Compass can be set up to automatically create and release backorders
Lot and Serial Number Tracking
Track product details from receipt to shipment and beyond (through history).
Quotation Entry

Fax Interface
