Hello,

I own a bridal store and we are constanty taking orders for sample
dresses. This means that we aren't selling the one dress we have in
the store, but we are created sales orders for the transaction. Up
until now, we use the "sales order" feature and take a deposit. Once
the dress arrives, the remaining balance is paid and the order is
complete. I think our first mistake was using the sales order option
for this purpose. I've changed the status to "closed" on the completed
sales orders, but they are still included in our sales order lists.
The biggest problems with these orders is how they are impacting our QB
financial info. These orders are showing as "unearned revenue" even
though we've been paid for them and the bankcard deposit recorded. I
realize this is highly complicated and I haven't done the greatest job
explaining our plight, but any info on the matter would be appreciated.
Additionally, if anyone has suggestsions or advice for how to use POS
for a retail environment that specializes in special orders (such as a
bridal salon), I'd love to hear it. Thanks!!!

Hey,
At an auto dealership we're running 2005 Pro. We special order lots of
parts. We always use the purchase orders, and assign a specific part
number to anything we order. When the order comes in, you click
"receive items", and after you fill in which vendor it pops up with the
purchase orders to choose from. You select your purchase order, and
just delete the lines that didn't come in. From there you make an
invoice or sales receipt. Just fill out the name, and click the
"time/costs" button. You select the things that were special ordered
for that customer, and they transfer right on to the invoice
automatically.

Does that make any sense? What version are you running?
