Entering Text, Manual And Special Product Lines

When a new blank line is created on a sales document (Sales Order, Quote, Sales Enquiry, Sales Contract or Credit Note) it will default to a standard Product line - see Adding Product Lines. However, you also have the option of creating Text, Manual and Special lines:

• Text Lines are used for adding text to the sales document to provide useful information for the Customer. See Text Lines And Sales Documents.

Note: Text lines are not the same as Text Products.

• Manual Lines are used for entering non-Product 'charge items' not already on your database, such as a haulage charge. See Manual Lines And Sales Documents.

• Special Lines are used for entering Product lines not listed on your database, where you are effectively creating a Product record 'on the fly'. This may happen if the Product has no standard Supplier, has no Product code, is only available for a short period, is not normally stocked or sold by the Branch, or has been ordered by the Branch for the Customer as a one-off. See Special Lines And Sales Documents.
