Accounting Order Processing Software
Reviews and Ratings

Order processing is the ability to accept and enter customer orders for the items and quantities requested and to invoice them according to the price for that customer. Typically, once orders are entered, a shipping document is printed which is used to select the orders from a warehouse location, quantities shipped are verified and then invoiced. If less than the quantity requested is shipped, the balance may be backordered and then tracked by the system to be shipped when the item is available.

Some most advanced order processing can involve receiving customer orders via EDI, bar codes scanning and "pick and pack" features. Order processing will integrate with other applications including accounts receivable, inventory control and CRM.
