A Sales Order captures a customer’s purchase before it moves to invoicing or fulfilment, helping you double‑check details, pricing, and stock availability.
With Pet Manager, you can create sales orders from the Retail Area or directly within a customer’s profile. The system keeps customers informed with automated email updates at every stage and issues payment receipts through invoicing.
