Sage 100 Sales Order Enhancements
SO-1032 – Multiple Customer Deposits on a Sales Order
This DSD Enhancement allows for an unlimited number of deposits to be applied to a Sales Order, and allows deposits from A/R Cash Receipts to be applied to a customer’s Sales Orders. Additionally, Terms Codes may be associated with Payment Type to provide defaulting logic. This Enhancement is NOT compatible with any Credit Card Processing applications by third-party developers in the Sales Order, however credit card processing can be done in AR via cash receipts. This enhancement is great for companies who take multiple deposits/payments for Orders in process.
SOMD – Multiple Due Dates
Six new Due Date/Invoice Amount fields have been added to S/O Invoice Data Entry. The Sales Journal will print these new fields for each invoice. Only one Invoice History record will be created for the main invoice, however, multiple Open Invoice records will be created in the Open Invoice file, each with a different Due Date. The A/R Aging will reflect these Due Dates. This enhancement is useful to companies who have multiple due dates, and can pay the multiple open invoice records in cash receipts.
SOUS – Sales Order Upsell
Sales Order Upsell is a perfect Sage 100 enhancement for companies looking to increase sales by upselling items during order or invoice entry.

The master invoice number is recorded in the Invoice History files and can be modified at any time.

Master invoice is valuable to companies who have multiple orders for customers and want to display only one invoice.
