Gift Registry, Mail Order, and Catalogue Sales

Gift Registries

A gift registry is not an actual merchandise order, but rather is a list of items that someone, such as a bride and groom, hope that other people will buy for them. Registry Sales Orders are specifically designed for keeping track of the items wanted, those already purchased, and any other information needed for managing gift registries.

Mail Order and Catalogue Sales

Gift registries is just one function of the Retail Pro Sales Order Module. Sales Orders are quite versatile as temporary documents that record planned future sales and keep track of deposits paid. They are also ideal for handling layaways, special orders, catalogue and mail orders, back orders and sales proposals. Sales Orders will automatically prompt Purchase Orders by which to satisfy them, and those portions of the order which are satisfied can be converted to Sales while leaving the remainder open.
