Recurring Sales

Overview

SalesPad Recurring Sales allows users to create templates for sales documents. These templates, called Document Definitions, may then be used to automatically generate actual sales documents. Recurring sales allows users to create an unlimited number of Document Definitions per customer. Document Definitions can be based on previously created sales documents and are viewed on the Recurring Sales tab in the Customer Card in SalesPad. SalesPad Recurring Sales is useful for service contracts, etc.

2. Click the New button to open the "Recurring Sales Definition" screen.
3. Click Add Document from the Recurring Sales Lines Tab
4. In the screen that appears, enter the existing document number of the order you would like to repeat

10. Click OK. The Recurring Dates grid will display the recurring billing schedule
11. Fill out the Recurring Properties at the top of the screen, including document description (required), document type (quote, order, invoice), original workflow queue, and automatic process holds.
12. Be sure to click the Enable checkbox, which will allow the data to show up in the Recurring Sales Generator screen.
13. Click Save. The sale is ready to repeat as scheduled. You can click Set Default Doc on the Recurring Sales Lines tab to set the selected document as default for Recurring Sales (this will be denoted with an * next to the sales document number)

Repeat these steps to create recurring sales for additional documents or customers.

The Recurring Sales Generator (Modules > Recurring Sales) compiles a list of all scheduled recurring sales for every customer card. After the list is compiled, documents can be selected and released to the appropriate SalesPad workflow queue (batch) for further processing, where they can be changed individually as needed (for example, to add line items).

To view a list, select a Cutoff Date and click Build List. A list meeting the cutoff date criteria will compile:

To release documents,

1. Select documents from the list to generate and click Generate. A confirmation message will appear.Click Yes. 
2. A Document Comment box will pop up. Enter any notes you want on the document here.Click OK.
3. The selected document(s) will be generated. The status column on the Recurring Sales Generator screen will show the orders generated and other status messages. The document comment, if any, will display on the Notes tab of all selected documents.
