After using the mouse to select Orders|Create… After selecting a supplier, the Order create form will appear.
If the supplier defaults have been set up correctly, the next four entries will be set correctly and the Enter key can be pressed to start the order generation process. If not, then see the order parameters page. Pressing the OK button will generate an order.
Pressing the Cancel button or the Escape key will return immediately to the sales screen without generating an order.
The generated order may then be examined by selecting Order |View on the menu bar.
As orders are generated based on past sales, it is not possible to correctly generate an order until there is a past sales history. There should be a minimum of three weeks sales records plus the delivery interval; daily orders such as milk will give correct results after three weeks but orders which are placed monthly will require seven weeks of sales history.
The generation of orders can be a lengthy process so do not run it from an active station.
