There are many other aspects to stocks
that are being taken up now.
Order
Processing
In
Tally, order processing is linked to inventories.
You can track the order position of a stock item, know what goods
that were ordered have arrived, whether you have fulfilled the orders on
time and what is the delay, if any.
In
this module, you learn how to record purchase orders, and to call the
orders while
entering a purchase invoice and likewise with sales orders and sales
invoices.
You
will also learn how to display outstanding orders position and the effect
of
orders on stocks.
Remember,
orders do not affect financial records nor do they update inventories.
