Set the tax category (maintained in QuickBooks) for each location to ensure sales tax is correctly calculated on associated sales orders.

Hear it from Acctivate users

We really want to know who our customers are, where orders are coming from, what holes need to be filled — and that’s all very trackable within Acctivate.”

Invoicing and creating new customer information all happens in Acctivate. If I didn’t have Acctivate, then I wouldn’t be able to do what I do because all of our customer information is stored in Acctivate.”

location ids & associated info

Store Information for Multiple Customer Ship-To Locations

Create unique IDs for each ship-to location on a customer’s record. When adding a new location, identifiers can be used that will help a business easily organize and distinguish between multiple. Location IDs ensure that the correct location is selected on a sales order.

Multiple ship-to’s can be easily imported into Acctivate from a spreadsheet or manually added to the customer. Existing locations can be modified and deleted (if never used on an order or set to inactive).

A variety of information can be tied to each ship-to location for quick reference in the customer record: contact information (phone, fax, email, etc.), tax category for the sales tax rate, shipping method, FOB (‘free on board’) location, route information (for route delivery), job number (if related to a customer job), and EDI distribution centers (for EDI sales transactions). When a ship-to location is specified on a sales order the default information saved on the customer record will automatically translate over, ensuring a seamless experience all the way to the ship-to location.

Multiple Ship To Locations - Delivery Instructions

Delivery instructions + more

Satisfy Customers & Keep Staff Informed by Communicating Delivery Instructions and Needs Throughout Processing & Fulfillment

For each customer ship-to location default delivery instructions can be set via the Comment, Shipping Instructions, and Special Instructions fields, which will auto populate on any sales order created and order processing documents.

Comments can be pre-defined or newly added on the customer record. Shipping instructions are designed to convey guidelines specific to shipping orders, therefore they print on all documents leading up to shipping (i.e., the order, pick ticket, pack list). Special Instructions are meant for internal use and are printed on the pick ticket.

Any other ship-to location specific note can be added that will appear on the Shipping tab of the sales order or if set as a popup, will appear on screen whenever the ship-to location is selected.

Notes & follow-up reminders

Keep Record of Any Ship-To Location Notes and Coordinate Follow-Up

Add multiple notes with user & date stamps for each ship-to location and assign for follow-up. When using for follow-up set due dates and an assigned user, which will establish reminders in a central window of the system. Users can then take quick and easy action with a record of the note and drill-down into the customer record.
