Special Orders

Creating an inventory special order is easy and flexible using Furniture Wizard. If you have a

popular item that you special order frequently, you’ll want to create an inventory record that has

special requirements in the Inventory or Invoice Record, and does not have a Cover/Finish. The

requirements field contains features that must be specified when you order this Inventory item. An

example of this might be Finish, Back Pillows, Arm, Body Fabric and Legs. This way, you’ll avoid

having large amounts of one item in your database with just minor differences in fabric or finish.

This will be helpful when running inventory reports as well.

If you have a popular item that you have in stock as well as special

order, you may want to create two inventory item records. One record

should reflect the way you carry it in stock (Cover/Finish should be

filled in.) The other record will be used for special orders, with the

Cover/Finish field blank.

Follow these steps to effortlessly create special orders...

In other furniture software packages every time you order a piece of

furniture with a different feature for example a slip cover sofa may be

available in dozens of covers and have different options for the body fabric,

pillows, legs and arms. You may frequently sell this sofa but every order is

unique. At the end of the year you may have sold it 40 times in 35 different

variations. Instead of having a report showing the same sofa listed 35

different times furniture Wizard allows you to display it only 2 times. One for

the way you stock it on your floor and the other representing your special

orders.

1) When you set up the special order inventory record, use the requirements field to specify

the requirements for that order (i.e., Back Pillows, Body, Arm, and Leg). Leave the Cover/Finish

field blank - this will be a “generic” record.
