Working with Sales Order Processing (SOP)

Stock+ works seamlessly with Sales Order Processing (SOP) module in Sage 50 Accounts Professional (Financial Controller).

Barcode scanners are used to ensure the right goods are despatched to the right customer.

How it works

Orders entered into Sage are automatically forwarded to a handheld terminal in the warehouse for picking. The picker is directed to each picking location in turn, scanning the shelf and/or product barcode to confirm that the correct item, and quantity of items, is despatched.

After all items are picked, the status of the Sales Order is automatically updated in SOP as 'DESPATCHED', the stock-levels are decremented, the delivery note printed, and the Invoice created.

All this happens in real-time.

There is no paper to print; no data files to be transferred, and no waiting until batch terminals are docked and synchronised.

If you have a website, and are importing your web orders into Sage, then the first time an order needs any manual intervention is when your picker physically despatches the order.

Order Routing and Prioritisation

Business rules can be defined to queue orders, prioritise urgent orders, and to route specific orders to specific team members. These functions further streamline the warehouse.

Keeping track of consignments

Optionally, the handheld terminal can prompt for the courier and consignment details, which in-turn are automatically fed back into Sage. This allows sales teams to effectively track customer's orders.
