A General Introduction to Sales
You will use the Sales modules to conduct sales transactions. These include selling and returning stock items, non-inventory items, and special order items. You can also do Layaway transactions if your business offers this service. This section provides an overview of the setup necessary to take advantage of all the features the Sales modules offer.
The Sales module consists of both Order Entry and Point of Sale, which function together, but each one offers unique features. If you purchased both Point of Sale and Order Entry, you will have access to all of the functions of the Sales module.
Denali has many valuable features that provide flexibility, security, and enhanced functionality for your business. The following list presents just a few of these features that are specific to the Sales module.
• Customizable Sales Entry Windows: You can customize the sales entry windows so your sales clerks only see the fields you want them to (see Customizing the Sales Entry Window or Setting Up Your Registers).
• Tight Salesperson Control: If you want to establish transaction rights for your salespeople for maximum efficiency and security you can do so in Denali (see Setting Up Your Salespeople (Salesperson Codes)).
• Extensive Reporting: Another great benefit of Denali is the numerous and extensive reports that are available to help you track your productivity and improve your bottom line (see Evaluating Your Business Productivity with Reports).
• Specialized Sales Options: With the Sales module, you can offer your customers the option of placing items on layaway or purchasing gift cards (see Setting Up Gift Cards and Settings Specific to Layaway).
We encourage you to review each guide along with the New Features guide and the Integration guide for a full understanding of Denali and the features available in each module.
