The Standard Sales Order Form
The Standard Sales Order form automatically creates the appropriate billing transaction based on whether you enter a payment method or select payment terms on the sales order.
-
If you enter a payment method, NetSuite automatically generates a cash sale upon billing.
-
If you select payment terms, NetSuite automatically generates an invoice upon billing.
-
If you enter neither terms nor a payment method, NetSuite generates an invoice upon billing.
When you select payment terms on a sales order, NetSuite does assess the credit limit if one is listed for the customer. When you select a payment method on a sales order, NetSuite does not assess the credit limit.
