Toolbar in OrderEntry

Here you see common designing-tools and database-managing tools. Click the command buttons to quickly select main Order- and database-managing commands. Buttons shown in gray, mean that they are not applicable at the moment. In other words they are not necessary to the action you want to perform.

The Toolbar offers graphical representations of common commands or additional windows that pertain to the window. Some are common to most windows programs, while others are quite specific.

Here's a brief description of the toolbar buttons in the window.

  Button Description
Customer Screen Switches you directly to the Customer screen of your current company.
Order Screen Switches you directly to the Order screen of your current company. When you are in a Customer screen, and you select the O-button, SOSET OrderEntry will ask you whether you want to add a new order in case the active customer has no current orders.
Product Screen Switches you directly Product screen, enabling you to maintain the products of your current company. All product-information becomes available.
SOSET Typeset Opens SOSET Typeset, enabling you to maintain the typeset orders in SOSET Typeset. In case the current order consists of typeset stamps, you can view these immediately on screen in SOSET Typeset.
