Choose whether it is a cash paying client or an account paying customer. If the customer does not exist in smart-it, you can then use the (Quick Add) button to add the customer.

Status

Status: You can assign a status to a sales order. Status can be used to categorize different types of orders and in the Sales Order Lookup form, you can filter the orders for a specific type.  If you make use of a Webshop (PrestaShop), this status is pulled through to your Webshop when you do a Webshop Sync.

NB:  If you have a Webshop (with PrestaShop) you would need to create a status on the form for this information to be pulled through from Smart-IT.
