Purpose
Create a Sales Order and mark it as '''Delivered' in a single step. This may be useful for situations where no intermediary steps, like manufacturing products(See: Work Order) or waiting for non-stock items to arrive, are needed.
Procedure
The steps and requirements for creating a Direct Delivery are covered under Sales Order Entry. It is important to note that this operation effectively skips the standard Sales Order step and flags it as delivered so that it can be invoiced immediately. This may be desirable if the material is in stock and being picked up or shipped at the moment the sales order is written up (a cash pick-up order for example); however, if items must be manufactured or delivery will delayed for any reason, than a standard Sales Order is required.
