I’ve a client who is using MYOB to run their soft furnishings business, where I am looking at replacing MYOB with Business Central, as their business has outgrown MYOB. I specifically like Business Central as it has a Job function module which looks like it will cater for their needs.
The above is what I am looking for advice and direction on, i.e. can the Jobs module handle the following functionality:
Background - the above customer sells curtains and blinds and does not hold any inventory. Once a sales order has been raised and confirmed and deposit received from the customer, the various purchase orders are raised to complete the sales orders. When all components of the sales order are received the sales order is converted to an invoice, job closed, and profit recognised.
Create sales order for a customer, if so, how do you allocate the job reference
Create prepayment receipt for say 50% on confirmation of sales order
Create purchase orders for the various suppliers (say 10), if so, how do you allocate the job reference.
On receipt of all materials for the sales order, the sales order is ready to be converted to a sales invoice, and ready to be installed. However, prior to installation the remaining 50% is due and payable.
The above business does not book either sales or costs until the sales order has been invoiced, including the recognition of GST liability.
My question is can Business Central Jobs function handle efficiently the above customer processes.
