    Hi,

    Move Negative Lines: When your order has a negative lines, you can use this function to easily create a return order or credit memo.

    For example:

    The negative lines will be removed.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    1. Kindly advise what is "Move Negative Lines" used for?

    The program does not allow posting of any orders with a negative total amount. According to general conventions in the program, the warehouse management functionality does not manage negative lines. For the warehouse, it does not make sense to select a negative quantity. So, when you use warehousing, you must move negative lines to documents where they are positive

    2. When do we need to archive a document?

    You can archive sales and purchase orders, quotes, return orders, and blanket orders, for example because you want to save a copy of a document for reuse later. You can archive a sales or purchase document several times, saving a different archived version each time. For archived sales documents where the original still exists and is not posted, you can use the Restore function to overwrite the original with the archived version of the document. This is practical if you need to restore the contents of a document to an earlier state.

    3. When we select Archive Document, where does it goes to?

    Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Sales Order Archives, and then choose the related link.

    4. Can we delete an Archived document?

    - Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature. icon, enter Sales Order Archives, and then choose the related link.

    - Choose the Delete Archived Sales Order Versions action, and then, on the Delete Archived Sales Order Versions page, select the appropriate filters.

    - Choose the OK button.

    5. Can we call back the Archived document?

    Select the archived sales order, or version of it, that you want to restore, and then choose the Restore action.

    Thanks.
