Manually Create a Direct Ship Invoice

When creating direct ship orders in Boulevard, the items added to the invoice will not be deducted from on-hand inventory amounts. When the invoice has been completed, an inventory order will be generated for accurate production tracking for seminar recognition and tax purposes. 

Note:  The invoice sale type Direct Ship, is used for both EZ Ship and regular Customer Delivery Service orders you initiate to be shipped from the company to your customer, or customers registered on your personal website.

1. Create a new invoice for the contact.
2. From the Sale drop-down menu, select Guest Checkout or Direct Ship.
3. After selecting the type of direct ship invoice, if applicable, click  OK  to acknowledge and close the reminder form.
4. Add items to the invoice by entering the part number, using a partial Description search, dragging and dropping from the contact's previous purchase history, or using Lookup.
5. Apply any necessary discounts. A percent discount can be applied to an individual item from the Disc% field. Or, apply a discount to the entire invoice from the Discount section at the bottom of the invoice. Alternatively, you can apply a Flat Amount. The Percent and Flat Amount discount options cannot be used together.
