Overview
This screen allows you to view, draft and complete sales orders. Orders contain a collection of account-packages which can easily added in bulk and then billed and invoiced. Orders can be created directly in the LogiSense Billing AdminPortal or alternatively, populated in another application and pushed down to an account in LogiSense Billing (for instance, an order can be setup in Salesforce and sent to the LogiSense Billing application to be completed).
This article and the guides under it will cover the options available on the order screen and how to draft and complete orders.
Orders Panel
The Orders panel towards the left of this screen allows you to select existing orders present on the account so that you can view the order settings on the Order Detail panel on the right. Actions are also available in this panel which are shown as icons above the Filter text box. The available actions are described below.
