Sales Order Workflow

On the Fly Opportunities - a new option to "Allow On-the-Fly Opportunities from CRM" which provides a streamlined method of order entry. If customers know what they want to order, the next new Opportunity will be utilized to quickly place the order.
Copy Order - for more accurate and faster data entry from Sales Order Entry in ERP, if the original order or invoice has an opportunity assigned, you'll be able to copy information on from sales order, sales order quote history, or invoice history. Once the "Copy From" document has been selected, you will be able to change the customer, assign a contact and select an available opportunity on the new order.
New Salesperson User Mapping - for salespeople who sell to customers in more than one division, we've added a tool that easily maps Accounts Receivable salesperson records to the appropriate user logon. This new tool will be accessible from the Customer Relationship Management Main menu.

Customizable Outlook Tasks and Appointments - Outlook synchronization will be customizable as to what details are addled to Tasks and Appointments.
Accounts Functionality - further streamlining workflow, a "Continue" button will be on the Account Summary screen. Setup and send mass emails for Accounts, using lists, groups, saved searches, and more. All communications will be associated with those Accounts for ingoing and outgoing emails.
