Purpose of the module
The Order Processing module allows you to store, track and process customer and supplier orders. It acts as your method for bringing goods into stock via Purchase Ordering, and provides you with the repository for your customer orders via Sales Ordering so that they can be tracked and either retrieved into other parts of Platinum such as the Workshop or Stock Control or processed for picking, delivery and invoicing for retail, trade, wholesale, web/internet or eBay sales in its own right.
Initial Setup - Creating Order Statuses
