Sales & Purchasing tab

The System Setup: Sales & Purchasing window allows for customization of the Sales and Purchasing Modules.

This is an overview of the window.

See below for descriptions of each section of this window.

This is an overview of the window.

1. Message Defaults

Message Defaults allows you to customize a message that will print at the bottom of AcctVantage's standard forms (Quote, Order, Invoice, Pack List, Purchase Order). The message entered here is not modifiable during printing, so this is a good place for information that only changes rarely.

For example, you may want a message at the bottom of every Quote that reads, "All Quotes are valid for 15 days. Thank you!"
