Sales Order Software
There are no sales orders in QuickBooks Online as it is not sales order software. QuickBooks sales order capabilities only exist in the older Desktop version, now rapidly being supplanted by the QuickBooks Online version. For QuickBooks Online users, the authors suggest a work-around using estimates which rather misses the point. For any trading business keeping track of sales orders, analyzing sales order history, and reviewing sales order vs. invoice is fundamental. A sales order management system is key in maintaining the customer relationship.
Many QuickBooks customers have selected SOS Inventory to alleviate the problem. It is easy to use and provides an excellent sales order tracking system.

Import Sales Order to Shopify
Older sales orders can be entered into your Shopify account by uploading a csv file formatted to Shopify’s guidelines for spreadsheet headlines. Use the “customers” tab to upload files 1 MB and smaller. (You may need to upload several csv files).
If importing sales orders from a previous store platform, the Import Store option from “Apps” can be used to upload your information.
Shopify customers can integrate their sales orders directly into the SOS Inventory platform using the API and all Shopify accounting tasks can be integrated with QuickBooks Online.
SOS Inventory will update Shopify with your available inventory quantities.
Sales Order vs. Invoice
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, a sales order initiates the sales process, confirming the sale took place; the invoice is a document requesting payment from the person who purchased the product or service. The invoice is usually provided to the customer prior to delivery of the product(s).
The Ideal Sales Order Management Software – SOS Does It All
All sales order modules within the sales order tracking system from quotes, sales orders, invoices, fulfillment and accounting are managed seamlessly via SOS’s robust sales order software. Product barcodes can be scanned to enable tracking of skus, batch numbers, lot numbers or serial numbers, capturing each product’s journey until it reaches the customer.
Having the right pricing information for the right customer is pretty fundamental, as is having confidence in the accuracy of the information you are providing in a quote. Don’t turn your best customer into a disgruntled one. Call up all his information at the click of a mouse to provide the stellar customer service you can take pride in. Sales order tracking software will make your team’s job easier and help them serve your customers more effectively.
