Manually Create a Direct Ship Invoice

When creating an invoice with the sale type of Direct Ship or Guest Checkout it will not deduct the inventory sold from your on-hand inventory, but it will create an Inventory order with the totals for tax purposes. You can import the customer website/direct ship order or manually enter it following the steps below.

Note: The invoice sale type Direct Ship (or Guest Checkout) should only be used for direct ship orders sent from the company to the customer (from orders initiated by you or from a customer registered on your personal website or guest checkout orders).

1. Create a new invoice. 
2. Change the invoice Sale type to Direct Ship or Guest Checkout. View
3. Clickand in the Search field, enter either a partial description or part number. To view and select from past purchases, click the History tab at the top of the form.
4. Double-click to add items to the invoice. Or select an item, then click.
5. When finished, click .

7. Apply any necessary discounts. A percent discount can be applied to an individual item from the Discount% field, or from the Discount tab, apply a discount to the entire invoice. Alternatively, you can apply a Flat Amount. The Percent and Flat Amount discount options cannot be used together.
8. At the bottom of the invoice, on the Details tab, if applicable, enter any shipping amount you collected from your customer in the Shipping field.
9. From the Product Order tab, enter the shipping amount the company collected from you in the Shipping field. View
